[CLUE-Tech] Red Hat 9 & glibc

[Mike Staver]

[staver at www1 staver]$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.5-34

Oh, wow.  I'm dumb.  I just noticed this box is release 7.3 vahalla. 
Nothing to see here folks, I'm just smoking crack again.  Thanks for the 
info though Michael - it got me thinking about why I'm running 2.2.5-34 
while you were running 2.3.2 on version 8.0 :)
