May be I'm a moron but I've never seen any binary packages from other distros
running under Owl.  Each time I was trying smth. like this I had problems
which are, perhaps, easy to solve, but compiling all the stuff from sources
was always easier.

However, there are unofficial package repositores for Owl around, e.g.
mine: http://openwall.info/wiki/people/croco/crocos_lamp  (as I didn't yet
update it for Owl 3.0, you might want to take the SRPMs and build them).
Should you decide to try this out, please be sure to share your experience.
Thanks!
