I was poking around on the net and found an RPM repository.  Since I was after 
Enlightenment, I noticed they had an RPM of it along with a list of other 
needed RPMs.  A lot of the required libs had names like 'glibc.so.0" etc... 
 But, when I went to get the RPM, the filename didn't contain the .so 
designation.  I assumed that I should just grab the latest copy of each 
library.  Is this a good policy, or can it cause problems due to 
incompatibilities between libraries?  What is the best way to predict which 
libraries shooed be used with each other?  And finally, what is 'so.'?

Thanks

PS-I am glad I joined this list.  Lots of helpful people and advice.
