Comment What's the deal with libc6? (Score 1) 210
The most obvious thing that comes to mind is MySQL.. I did give it a shot installing linuxthreads, and I don't think I actually managed to get it right.
My first distro was Slackware, and was until about 3 months ago, when I switched to Debian. I hated it. I wouldn't switch back to Slackware now. As much as I said I despised package management, it's almost perfect in Debian, so it tends not to screw me up.
(I said almost - the mess with gtk did not impress me, but in part that's not Debian's fault, but authors using an unstable gtk branch.. ug, I'm still not rid of that mess.. :( )
Compiling stuff by hand I still do. It's not mutually exclusive.. (Window Maker and all the dockapps I did by hand..) It's just a lot easier for the base stuff *grin*.
