We're running into a problem with the version of glibc that's on our
news server, which is running slink. I've dist-upgraded a firewall
machine at home a few weeks ago without a hitch but the machine at the
office is a news server that handles over 4 gig of alt.binaries
newsgroups a day (we handle non-binaries newsgroups on another machine
since usenet is so vast these days). 

I know that there were recently some glitches with plugger and maybe
menu so I'm just wondering if I it's stupid of me to dist-upgrade this
machine quite yet? Someone has a decoder crunching away on that box
and he has requested a newer glibc but I don't want to ruin
everything.

Suggestions?

BTW: this list is incredibly helpful. Kudos to the mad elite that
impart some damned fine arcane knowledge on the rest of us when we
ask for it.  ;-j
