I as a user have a lot of trouble with SAGA every while end then,  
especially like you mentioned with models I built to run on Win and Linux  
Mint/Ubuntu.
Even though I have an updated Linux Mint 17.1 = Ubuntu 14.04 with  
ubuntu-unstable, SAGA only works partially. Seems like most vector related  
function still work, but all raster related functions fail, so my models  
are working only under Windows now.

There might be other reasons for that than only SAGA, but for the average  
Linux user, this is hard to solve.
So any ideas how to make the integration of SAGA more stable would be much  
appreciated.

Just my 2 cents
Bernd
