Are any current distros Firefox-4 ready?
If there are no Linux distros pre-packaged and ready for Firefox-4, uptake will be next to zero. Updating individual packages is often not possible due to other dependancies.
I use Centos 5.5

Did you check the system requirements?
If you do not meet them then you need to update to a more recent Linux distribution.
thank you for the reply. yes, I checked the requirements and found my distro lacking. (CentOS 5, a RHEL 5 variant.)
My CentOS 5 is current, except for a minor kernel update. So, I do not consider CentOS 5 to be "Firefox 4 ready". Searching for, say, libstdc++ finds 4.1 for RHEL5 and CentOS. Doing an rpm search discovers something from sourceforge/.../roblinux, but really - how much tweaking of non-distro code must I do to make Firefox 4 work? What else is it going to break?
My point is that it should be easy to install on the majority if not all existing distros, and it isn't for CentOS 5.
On what distros does Firefox 4 work "easily", as in out-of-the-box, or with very little tweaking? Or perhaps, what distro was Firefox 4 developed and tested on?
