  === Recommended Packages ===
  
  The recommended packages provide additional add-ons or features (summaries included, below) to the server or as a way to test new functions and features.
  
+   * autoconf2.5 - Not normally required for end-user builds, but it is useful if build scripts are not up to date.
    * check - unit test framework for C (used by the unit tests)
    * libsqlite3-0 - SQLite 3 shared library (used by cflogger)
-   * python2.4-gd - Python module wrapper for libgd (used by game features such as bank, post office, slot machines, etc.)
-     * are you sure about that one?? unless i'm mistaking it's a graphic library, and i don't see where it'd be used in the scripts...   --- //Ryo 2007/03/22 04:48//
-       * I'm not positive, but it was the only reference to python that I saw in my bash history during the initial install and setup.  --- //Leaf 2007/03/22 20:10//
+   * libpython2.4 - Python shared object library (used by game features such as bank, post office, slot machines, etc.)
+   * libpython2.4-devel - Required to compile python support into the server.
  
  As a quick reference:
  
    sudo apt-get install check libsqlite3-0
  
  Installing Python and which version is still under investigation/discussion
+   * lib64python2.4-2.4.3 is known to work on Mandriva 2007.0 x86_64
+ 
+ === Useful Packages ===
+ 
+ These useful packages are not normally required for end-user builds, but they come in handy in cases where developers may have forgotten to check in changes to build scripts, etc.
+ 
+   * autoconf2.5 - Running autogen.sh to fix up build scripts will require autoconf.
+   * cproto - supports `make proto` to automatically update prototype files.
+   * sudo - Provide limited super user privileges to specific users
+     * Not required, but `sudo make install` is useful for installing to system directories.
+     * Do not run `make` as the root user for security reasons.
