The only thing that you have to take care of, is the linux kernel.  TSM uses
some binary only modules and they only load in the supported kernels.  I
loaded the binary succesfully on my debian box after I download the SUSE
kernel source and compiled my kernel with it.  I choosed the SUSE kernel
because it's the most recent one.
