Creating an underground RedHat 4.3 distribution




RedHat 4.2 came out quite some time ago, and meanwhile RedHat decided to
switch to glibc. As a result, the latest libc5 based distribution is quite
out-of-date and most of its packages have newer versions.

I suggest the creation of a "RedHat 4.3" distribution, that will be libc5
based, and will contain newer versions of the RedHat packages. That way,
the distribution will not be buggy out of the box. 

I'd like to hear what you think about this idea, before I start the actual
work involved.
