Change of plans

Well, uCrux is not for me.

The main prob­lem is what lead me to it in the first place, uClibc.

Sad­ly, I can­not rec­om­mend it ex­cept for em­bed­ded de­vices. It has some prob­lems build­ing or link­ing spe­cif­ic soft­ware, but that's not it. The prob­lem is there is no up­grade route.

Since it prom­ises to break bi­na­ry com­pat­i­bil­i­ty ev­ery ver­sion, you have to re­build the world to, for ex­am­ple, see if a bug is fixed in lat­est snap­shot.

So, back to glibc, at least for a while.

And, since I de­cid­ed to switch to glibc, why not look at Crux's child, Arch? It's down­load­ing now.
