Forget the books. Grab RedHat 6.1 and go. You won't regret it.

How about avoiding such problems by never running libc5 exes on a libc6
system? IDL works just fine. I've not found a problem with anything
else I use.

X setup on a non-standard machine (e.g. laptop) can occaisinally be
"not for the faint-hearted". Mostly, I've not had problems, especially
with newer distributions.

And I'm more than happy to trade in a little set-up time for a stable,
reliable platform, that doesn't require a reboot every
10*RANDOMU(seed) hours.
