----------------------
NOTE: (not for webpage, but for you)
Debian 3.1 and Red Hat Linux 9 (RHL9) silently quits from Linux
Additions installer. Looks like some scripting silently fails on them.
RHEL 3.9, which is a close brother of RHL9, notably works.

Test matrix of Guest OSes:
1. I have removed Fedora 7/8/9/10/11 from testing,
2. kept F12, added F13/14,
 Testing F12/F13/F14. (32/64bit)
3. added RHEL6 (32/64bit)
 Testing RHEL 3.9, 4.8, 5.5, 6.0 (32/64bit)
4. added Debian
 Testing Debian 4/5/6. (32-bit)
5. openSUSE: Testing from 10.2 onwards
 Testing openSUSE 10.2/10.3/11.0/11.1/11.2/11.3. (32/64bit)

Mostly Xorg drivers/mouse integration, but also includes shared
folders, copy-paste, and simple 3D.

Thanks.
