I think that the best way for Linux people is to compile themselves...
Mutual compatibility of Linux binaries is not so good as with Windows binaries ...

esware is Debian based, so if you want precompiled you'll have to settle for 0.61. If you do decide to compile, the most common cause of problems (with compiling anything) is to forget to install the development packages first.....
