Hello People, I have played with Red Hat phoebe2 last night and tonight, and from what seems right now - you really want to hold yourself before upgrading to it..
There are LOTS of applications which will break due to the newer and (sort of) incompatible glibc and the new NPTL implementation. Playing the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL seems not helping any more here.. Here are some of the applications that I tried which cannot run: * Sun's and IBM's JRE and JDK - you'll need to upgrade to 1.4.1 to make it work. * Nvidia drivers - seems like NVidia did some tricks with their driver to get an excellent performance, and it seems they use segment registers in their stuff, which, accidently runs against the NPTL - guess who wins? * Wine/WineX/Crossover [any product] - dies immediately.. There are few other applications that I'm not sure if they don't run because of phoebe2 or my (salad mix based) installation.. In short - stay away from it right now...
