What are the benefits of moving to ELF?
I'm quite new to Linux (have heard about it a long time ago, but only
recently managed to install it from the InfoMagic set). All I know is that
ELF is a different executable format that the traditional Unix a.out . Am I
right?
I didn't install the ELF version from the InfoMagic set, because I
understood that the ELF SlackWare on this CDROM was still Beta at the time
the CD was released.
