I suggest you first install a Linux +distribution. It really doesn't matter which one you install. It also +doesn't need to be the latest version, though it shouldn't be a too old one. +If it is about a year old or newer it should do just fine. You will save +yourself a lot of trouble if your normal system uses glibc-2.1 or newer. +Libc5 isn't supported by this book, though it isn't impossible to use a +libc5 system if you have no choice. +</para> + +</sect1> + |
