Will do. I'll use 7.2 from RedHat.
Thank you both for the *incredibly* quick response.

Any recent version of Linux would be fine. I would select a newer version of
Linux, just so you can get the new GLIBC. I use SuSE 7.0 and 7.3. If you are
using Redhat, I'd recommend something newer like 7.1 or 7.2
