For those of you who have used mkiv under Ubuntu (or Debian, I suppose), had it worked "out of the box" or is "some assembly required"?

Can you use Debian sid repositories for Hardy? If so, Norbert Preining provides deb packages for context, texlive, luatex, and tex-gyre, which are fairly up-to-date, and may be the easiest way to get a fully working mkiv. I use Gusty and have a almost fully working mkiv. I compiled luatex on my own, and had to set TEXMFCNF and LUAINPUTS variables in my shell. Aditya
