	Hmm, do the kernels have the libc5 vs. glibc2 issues too? I don't
run Debian yet, but will when I get my personal system running. I run
Slackware 3.5 currently, and now I see that I would have to use up a ton
of disk space just to try to make it work. Could I pull 2.0.36 off of the
RH5.2 CD? Or does it have compatibility issues (such as libc)? If that
doesn't work, does anyone have a Slackware system running 2.0.36 with all
the options that are included in the precompiled kernels but also with
sbpcd and sound support? If, so, I would like to talk privately about
getting it. :) 

P.S. I have just learned that my dad has installed LinuxPPC along with
MacOS on his laptop at work. He hasn't played much with it yet, but it
seems to run okay. Any tips I can give him to persuade him to use it more
or for more purposes?
