Hey guys, is there anyway to get glibc running on SuSE? I have seen several apps that require glibc, and I know SuSE doesn't have that.

I would use something like Partition Magic from DOS or Window$ to set your partitions or change your patitions sizes without damaging its contents. PM lets you partition Linux Swap and Standard partitions.

[SuSE Linux] ppp is SSllooooooww !

I've SuSE 5.3 installed on this box along with Solaris. Connecting to the net via Solaris and my 33.6k USR Sportster yields transfer rates on the order of 3.2kbs, but using SuSE I'm commonly limited to less than 1kbs. I've not done anything special, just brought the system up and configured a generic ppp via YaST. What am I missing here!?!?!
