Hmmm. What version of libc? Does an /sbin/ldconfig finish happily?

RedHat! RedHat! RedHat! Except no substitutes. I tried Mandrake,
most things work, it is faster, but occasionally I found an app that
would not run (seg Fault), but on Redhat it worked find with roughly
the same servion of everything. I suspect their "optimizing" compile
introduces subtle bugs (compilers can do that). I've never used
Debian, but I know it's file system layout seems deviant from FSSTND
(their very religious people, I like what works, at least as far as my
OS go's, even if it costs me money). Nice too see someone using SCSI,
but I'd recommend another 32Mb of RAM.
