Debian Linux and Rev CGI

[Dan Shafer]

My hosting service (http://www.dreamhost.com) tech support folks  
responded to my request for GLIBC 2,.3 support as apparently required  
by the Linux Rev CGi engine, with the following comment:

So I'll just be patient until the end of the summer. Meanwhile, I'm  
honing my Python/PHP skill set, hardly a painful experience.

I assume this is a Debian issue and that Red Hat Linux uses GLIBC  
2.3, which explains the anomaly.
