Re: tlug: libc or glibc,easy install

[Sean Bennett <sean@example.com>]

.....geez.... after all of the posts, I kind of feel like odd man out again;
before it was because I was a FreeBSD'er in a linux users group.  I thought I
'joined the team' when I bought RH5.1 a few weeks ago but now I wonder... <g>

I'm running RH5.1, and did download some updates;  they installed no problem
via rpm.  As for how it compares to other *unixes out there, I'm still fairly
new to the linux enviroment, and I haven't tried TL/Debian/Slackware so have
nothing to compare it too...
