Do you have to put the path of the program in your global path or do you
have to write the path with the program? I'm just being lazy...

Well, I don't really mind as long as Patrick offers a good product. The
only reason for the jump was that he was tired of people asking him when
Slack was going to catch up with Redhat.

The lack of glibc2 support was apparently for stability reasons. I've
been using glibc2 for the last year and had no problems with it

Hey Tania, Jenn,
The differences are large which is probably why you haven't seen them
stated before. Essentially what it boils down to are two things. File
System Standards and packaging. For example, RedHat uses it own standard
