I can confirm that this solution is rocksolid. I have been running
Slackware since kernel version 0.9x, and since last summer on both
PPro 200/2 and PII 450/2 dual SMP machines - haven't had a single crash.
I must agree, if you have to be able to manually tweak your system's
performance, the configuration and problem solving is much simpler on
Slackware than RedHat and the likes. I just can't find my way around
in all of those boot scripts and references. If you want to run threads
you can always change your default library to glibc2 (which I would
recommend), or even use it as an alternative library, with libc5 remaining
your main library. Consult the glibc2 HOWTO:
(http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc/Glibc2-HOWTO.html)
for info on how to install it in either configuration.
