*The NCTUns website clearly says this :*
The Linux distribution that works with the latest NCTUns 4.0 and has been
fully tested is Red Hat's Fedora 8.* Other Linux distributions such as
Debian may work with NCTUns because they use the same Linux kernel as
Fedora. However, configurations and settings on these distributions may be
different from those on Fedora*. *It is the user's responsibility to adjust
configurations* and settings if he (she) would like to install the latest
NCTUns 4.0 on a different Linux distribution than Fedora 8. Because NSL has
not tested the latest NCTUns 4.0 on other Linux distributions, it is not
guaranteed that the latest NCTUns 4.0 can work correctly on Linux
distributions other than Fedora 8.
Starting from NCTUns 2.0, the FreeBSD operating system is no longer
supported.
As said above : "Other Linux distributions such as Debian may work with
NCTUns because they use the same Linux kernel as Fedora"
So how do i install this ... i tried once and failed to do so ...i think a
packing is required for this

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I ask you only two questions :
1. Did u find joy in ur life?
2.How many found joy from ur life ??
