Why was this guy modded a troll ? Cut off the Red Chinese and those stinking Koreans , to while you are at !
They are nothing but parasitical nogoodnik parasite worms.
I agree with Nick. The "suits" used to get apoplexy when they had to pay decent salaries to retain their technical talent. During the ridiculous "Y2K" fiasco, the salary tariff for IT talent drove most of them over the edge. "You guys are nothing but overhead, blah, blah blah !!" For the execs of the middle 2000's , it's payback time now !
That is the way I remember Applix, too (1993-1996 timeframe). There was nothing else at the time for Solaris. We managed quite well with it, and some of the more clever folks were able to do impressive things with the Applixware scripting language (ELF).
At one company where I worked as a slave Sun admin, we instituted a policy of brief, infrequent meetings. The meetings also had an agenda !! I look back to my days there fondly...

Mod this guy up ! Good to see that some of the "old breed" survived and is still active in the ranks (GMAP veteran here, myself)

Have you tried to build glibc 2.3.3 ? I have , and it won't compile. And, all the maintainers, being Red Hat, are on a closed forum.
I agree. Their culture doesn't encourage innovation, fortunately for the U.S.
