SuSE 6.0 in august/september is the next distribution of SuSE if all goes well, and it will be glibc based. If unforeseen problems arise the good folks at SuSE may decide to issue one last libc5 based dist, SuSE 5.3.
I called Jan Fuxell in Oakland earlier with regard to this question. From what I understand, they don't think that glibc is entirely stable and haven't made up their minds if their next release will glibc based. Well hell, here's the response: --- From: Jan Fuxell <jan@suse.com> To: cbebber@ecst.csuchico.edu Subject: glibc Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 13:54:50 -0700 (PDT) Hi, Thanks for inquiring about our Linux distribution. Like I said on the phone glibc will not be replacing libc5 until it's stable and working without too many bugs. Our next version will be out towards the latter part of the summer, and shortly before then will there be an evaluation whether it's on or postponed until further development. That's as much as the technincal people could tell me. --- Best regards, -Charlie -- WWW: <A HREF="http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber"><A HREF="http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber</A">http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~cbebber</A</A>> PGP: 768/2F9B4879 35 93 D1 42 D0 45 44 CB E7 8F 64 37 FB FD 54 5C The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match. -- Will Rogers -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
