So I certainly didn't know there was an archive of old mails or that this was a frequently asked question. I certainly appreciate the quick responses though.= I have a RH box as well as my others. I like SuSE the best but did want to try and play with the glibc ... I mostly use the RH one as a toy and my reliable = SuSE as my main system workstation. I bet the SuSE release will be more stable than RH5 as well so it will probab= ly be worth the wait. I'm sure they are getting the bugs out. (IMHO RH5 has more bugs than a roach motel). Anyways thanks again. (Hopefully they will update their TK as well.) of finally, why the nonstandard location for qt in SuSE?? I guess it's not so important, just wondered Michael Lankton wrote: > SuSE 6.0 in august/september is the next distribution of SuSE if all > goes well, and it will be glibc based.
