RH's gotten worse since then.
Bad enough they broke libc with the 4.2 -> 5.0 upgrade(I did NOT enjoy editing
the binary of my java compiler to get it to work under Glibc at that time), but
now they've pushed through another zapper by partially switching over to egcs.
Just the C++ part, mind you, C is still compiled by gcc.
Ever compile a C++ program that was authored under gcc with egcs' strictly ANSI
C++ compiler?
Not fun.
I ordered Bo last week so I can remove this RH beast from my hard drive before
it gets outta control.
I figured any distribution that's currently _beta_ testing a libc -> glibc
transition has got to decently stable and organized.
