A distribution that lets you have several versions of automake installed
at the same time perhaps. There are quite a few source packages which
require specific versions of automake (don't ask me why). I'm not sure
about how this is handled by SuSE. (In Gentoo, I can at least use
WANT_AUTOMAKE=<version> if something doesn't work out of the box.)
