Yes I did, but it still fails and I'm not enthusiastic to research 
linux.

Yes my oldest LNO version runs well on my oldest version Slackware.
Also Peter Matthias [LNO's author] uses Slackware AFAIK.

But since I want to view *.ps/*.pdf on the same 'desktop' with
N-O's text & diagram editing facilities; and older *.ps/*.pdf 
viewers are not good, I must use newer/problematic linux versions.

OK, I forgot: every time you run, the oberon.log [originally created
at install time] is over written.

The 'combination explosion' of different hardware[S], OS, versions ..
is overwhelming.  An ealy application of A[rtificial] I[ntelligence]
was DEC's auto-configuration for clients various combinations of
hardware & software.  Related: I'm wondering where RS232,
Centronics, USB is going.  Some smart-boys try to tell me that
RS232 & Centronics died long ago and that I should only be using
USB;  which [understandably because of it's complexity] seems 
NOT yet to have arrived.

What about modems ?
A hidden [internal] modem is disasterous.
I need to see the lights.
Even by NOT disabling the sound, you get some extra intelligence
sometimes.  For me ISP-dialup is an acrobatic exercise, needing
consideration of: the time of day/week/month, weather, TV showings
...etc.    Since societies didn't solve the road-traffic problem, which
entails similar considerations, I know these smart-boys who say it
all works automatically, are bluffing. 

OTOH 'KISS' helps to navigate the chaos ?
