Who cares about RedHat?

I keep wondering if RedHat's stock is going to take a plunge once people figure out that you can get Linux for free. Actually RH is a privately held company. In other words they don't have any stock to take a plunge.
Will it support glibc-2.1????

Yes, it will be glibc-2.1 based.
If you want a pretty good idea of what RH 6.0 will be, you can download the "starbuck" release (as I understand it, that's the codename for the beta version, not the codename for the actual 6.0 release, contrary to the news.com story). The latest starbuck calls itself 5.9.7 and seems to be stable for my system, although other people have complained about various bugs.
Note that the starbuck CD that cheapbytes is selling is an older 5.9 beta. It has an older kernel (5.9.7 has kernel 2.2.5) and a lot more bugs, so you're better off downloading the latest starbuck.
Uhh... since at least RH 3.0, you can update an older version to the new RH version. When the installer asks if you want to install a new system or update an old system... well, I'll let you figure out which one to pick.
If you use drugs, if you're thinking of using drugs, if you don't use drugs, you need to read "Infinite Jest," by David Foster Wallace. No matter whether you feel smug about not using drugs or if you think you can smoke pot with no problem, this book will show you that it ain't that simple.

Yeah, imagine a beowulf cluster with a kde gui!!
