Well, I love to worry in advance <g>. Does anyone have an idea of what SuSE libc5 users--at least we who are really still newbies--face when SuSE 6.0 with glibc comes out? Will a complete reinstall be required? Will there be an "upgrade" path for older (SuSE) distros?
Howard Arons -- I'm more worried about applications. Currently with RedHat, StarOffice is a royal pain in the butt to install. It is a pain to have to figure out exactly what will install and what won't or require some 'wrapper' or some other hack. Hopefully, SuSE will have learned from RedHat's mistakes in
