Actually, this is the very reason I'm using SuSE now. I have them to
thank for the NVidia server that I used on my old machine, so I decided
to try out their dist when I changed machines. Ironically, I'm now
using SuSE on a laptop that requires the Neomagic driver developed by
Red Hat. :)

I disagree, of course. I was using glibc under Red Hat 6 months ago,
and it was rock solid. I feel SuSE has waited too long to adopt. Since
we're within days of 6.0, though, this point should become moot very
soon.

I would at least like to be given the opportunity to chase every last
security hole if I so desire.
I think perhaps I vented a little too hard. I apologize, folks. It's
tough to lose a weekend to Unix configuration.
