You mention "pkgsrc" -- I use pkgsrc to build entire Linux distributions for a couple years. If someone pkgsrc-izes another libc and another kernel, then it would allow people to pick and choose. (As for now, I use glibc and Linux kernel built and install via pkgsrc for Linux systems.) Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/
