I'm not the moderator, and I'm not sure how many others I'd
be speaking for if I asked you to kindly take this discussion
elsewhere... perhaps somewhere more appropriate (imagine that..)
Kindly consider doing so. Thank you,

* sad to say... here we go to the holly war of Linux Distributions..
*
* just to make myself clear
*
* 1) RH6.0 is the last one of the most popular distro.. so it is the obvious
* selection
* 2) RH6.0 uses Kernel 2.2, egcc and glibc 2.1 so it is expected to be
* mostly incompatible with the other Linux, until all the distros,
* actually use the same "development" and "library" tools.
*
* actually, all the distributions are going the RedHat way.. Caldera was the
* first distribution to get into the train with OpenLinux 2.2, so did RedHat
* with 6.0, my advice.. just go the RedHat way.. but take a look on update
* packages as i do ;)
