R5 and YDL are glibc 2.1 based, so there should be no major problems doing
an upgrade.

R5 stuff is newer then CS 1.0, however, our 1.1 product will be newer then
R5... working postgresql, etc.

Well, the LinuxPPC folks sent a computer to netscape and apparently they
have a build. I grabbed a copy off their ftp site and have been trying it
out. No Java... the binary comes with Java disabled and if you turn it
back on and load a Java applet, boom -- bus error.

Regardless, we'll be shipping netscape with Champion Server 1.1 in a few
weeks.
