Hi Markus,

FGS is not getting much care theses days mostly because native OSGeo 
software packages are starting to be available for most of the Linux 
distros, reducing the need for FGS which is great news if you ask me.

You will find some useful pointers in 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Binary_Distribution

I'm sure the list in the wiki page above is not complete. You will also 
find links to packages for various distros on the download page of your 
favorite OSGeo pacakge, e.g. http://mapserver.org/download.html#binaries
