Um, now there I *would* have to disagree.  I was using it commerically
back then, and we actually ditched it because every tarball we downloaded
from the internet with few exceptions would not compile on RH5.0 and 5.1,
and sometimes even on 5.2 because of broken c libraries - this was
confirmed hen I sent the compile errors to software authors, not necessary
Linux advocates, just those who had ported their BSD etc apps to Linux.

It may well have changed now, Jees I hope it has.

Cheers.
