I'll say it again and again - glibc-2.0 is the _STANDARD_ (actually

Adopted last year.And...how many Unix (other then Linux) are *actually* using it?
Any idea on how we can test whether it is being used or not?AFAIK some BSD's are now using it - but I am probably wrong. I gave up on
BSD in '92.Geez, about the time I gave up on Linux and converted to *BSD
*grin*No wonder you're so anti-Linux if you stopped using it in '92. I started with
0.99pl13 in November '93. It must have been around v0.2 in '92 and of course
it wasn't stable then....
Linux is a lot more stable. I've had an old 386 notebook running
as a DNS server up for 519 days!
Checking now...oops, you are right:
Record created on 03-Jun-93.
That was when we created the DNS record for my first company,
which ran 2/3rds on Linux...so whatever version existed back there.In Linux's favor here, though...even at that point, if you ran
Linux on a *non-networked* system (ie. we had some dialup lines into it,
but not networking)...that thing ran pretty much rock-solid. It wasn't
until we actually put some load on her that she wouldn't run for more then
a day or so at a time...

Granted, and I had a FreeBSD system running PostgreSQL up for
almost 365 days before an employee accidentally hit the power switch on it
instead of the one beside it *shrug* I'm not going to switch from what
works for me just because Linux is better then it was 4 years
ago...someday I'd like to add a second system to my home "network" running
Linux, but it wouldn't be my primary system *shrug*
