	Well, testing has just got a new user right now. And it's
	great to have glibc 2.2, so that I can use large files in my
	box and high UIDs (after I switch to Linux 2.4.0, of course).
	:-)

	BTW, I've noticed that the new glibc has optimized versions
	for i586 and i686 platforms. Is there any perceptible
	performance increase in using these packages or do they have
	mostly psychological effect? :-)

	Anyway, I'm really happy for using testing now and I'm not
	scared anymore. :-) In fact, I'm highly anticipating the new
	X4 and KDE debuts in testing. :-)


	[]s, Roger...
