Working in Red Hat 5.2 or Linux Mandrake 5.3 should work as well; I
haven't yet found what other distributions used glibc 2.0, but this is
indeed the requirement. One of the main reasons Debian was mentioned
is that is what the original developers were using.

The Oxygen/LRP Resource CD has a lot of sources on it, and I've
started using a lrp/ directory in each source tree which contains a
make file which will apply patches if needed, make the binaries with
the right options, and package up a *.lrp file in the end.
This directory and its contents are then saved as a patch to the
source code tar.gz file. Thus, anyone who wants to update the source
can just unpack this patch and do a make in the lrp/ directory to
create a new *.lrp.
