In fact, they are very easy to recognize at first glance: the distribution
from the linux group has three numbers (next one for example could be:
3.491.0a) and the third number contains a letter to indicate a patch
level, while the canonical linux distribution contains only two (in any
case, the linux distribution will always contain one more number than
the canonical one). The numbering scheme was chosen on purpose to
be able to discern distributions.
When using the linux distribution, bug reports may be directed to the
linux csound mailing list (maybe unaptly named csound-unix-dev@ilogic.com.au)
Are'nt Linux people lucky to be able to choose among different distributions?
