I had an email thread with Brian many months ago where he previously had 
some personal objections of how some distributions compiled things 
incorrectly, created specific support issues, etc.  I think previous 
versions of UroNode called out those objections in the LICENSE file but 
it seems both 2.0 and 2.1 have that file removed in their respective 
archive:  ftp://ftp.n1uro.net/packet/

It might be work asking him again as his UroNode software really is a 
significant improvement over the old LinuxNode package.
