greatest chance to run cross platform. Hessu's perl one was kind of
locked to Debian installs.
Actually, it runs just fine on any Linux system which has Perl and the
multicast module installed. There is nothing Debian-centric in the
rip44d itself, it doesn't touch the distribution's configuration files
at all. I'm not sure where you got that idea. The installation
instructions could be improved to include dependency package
installation instructions for other distributions, but the generic
"other distributions" approach should work fine on any distribution
(or on a custom system without a distribution):

I actaully am not sure why someone would go with amprd
over ampr-ripd.
Perhaps others can comment.
It might be easier to start up. I would prefer ampr-ripd over amprd,
too, since I prefer using the kernel's standard tunneling features
rather than a custom encapsulation daemon in userspace. Kernel
tunneling will perform better, and it's older / more mature code -
it's been reviewed for security issues many times.
