Presently running R10B-8 on Ubuntu flavor of Debian, and SuSE.
Been running on R10B-6 on SuSE in production for months with
no issues.  It does a lot of ODBC database stuff and HTTP 
client/server stuff.



$ tar -xzf /path/to/otp_src_R10B-8.tar.gz
$ cd  otp_src_R10B-8
$ ./configure  --with-odbc --x-includes=/usr/local/include \
  --x-libraries=/usr/lib --with-ssl
$ make
$ sudo install
$ cd /usr/local/lib/erlang
$ sudo tar -xzf  /path/to/otp_doc_man_R10B-8.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xzf  /path/to/otp_doc_html_R10B-8.tar.gz
$ cd
$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.4.10 [source] [hipe]

I have been using Erlang and not specific OTP such as
gen_server.
