[NTLUG:Discuss] linux & 100 Mhz Pentium

[Tom Tumelty]

Thanks for the information.  
 
Recompiling is my preference anyway.
 
What would cause software not to work even if recompiled?, except if redhat used some propriatary library or used some simular monkey wrench  ?
 
 
Thanks,
Tom

The short answer is it depends. There are many funny things that Redhat has
done to itself starting with version 7 (well.. I guess they did funny things
when 5.0 came out too) that may make binaries difficult to use on other
platforms. RH introduces a new twist almost every release. RH 9 has
the new threading model... RH 7 introduced us to their own version of
gcc.

Now... if you don't mind recompiling, source code should still work fine
in most cases.
