I have an old 200MB drive laying around somewhere. I can try it on that to
see what happens.

Essentially its a file sharing utility, but a lot of free software
distributors are starting to use it for getting iso image files out to the

I know I'm not intending to perform any compiling at the moment (at least,
as long as I can avoid from having to compile programs).

Anyone who has had problems with the 2.3.x glibc.so, I'd love to hear the
