I've recently used both Redhat 5.0 (only for a bit) and Debian hamm. I would agree that glibc isn't ready for prime time just yet, but hopefully will be by this summer. Redhat 5.0 was not a 'clean' product (any readhat machines i deal with... including a few sparcs... are staying with 4.2 at least until 5.1 is out and stable) --Simon On Thu, 26 Feb 1998, James Gray wrote:

Hi!

Regarding the recent request for glibc...we will have glibc in S.u.S.E. Linux 6.0 this summer. In our view it is not quite ready yet, but it's coming. It's a judgment call that we feel is a wise one.

Cheers
