SubjectRe: OFFTOPIC: Linux & GLIBC
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

the problem with this attitude is those of us who are not as knowlegable and
only install what is available from one of the distributions. the people making
the distributions are faced with decidign when to put in glibc, if they put it
in to soon people will go to other distibutions becouse "dist X failed while
dist Y worked" without knowing why, and if they wait to long the claims of
"Linux isn't usable for REAL projects becouse it doesn't support "(put in your
favorite glibc feature here.)
