	And mostly not solved from what I can see... So they still
count. However, the /. claims seem to be a bit of an exaggeration...
I remember installing a RH 5.0 box a couple of years ago and now how it
feels :) I do believe they do use quite a lot of "tried and tested"
software (gcc among other things). In a sense, it's good, because new
software will (hopefully) stabilize with these sort of "events".
