- I'd like to play with Derek's RedHat-Athena.

- In the past year or so, Keesh has been used to beta-test so much
stuff (various a.out and ELF versions of libc 4 and libc 5, gcc, and
binutils) that it's no longer entirely clear what's installed anymore.
(I think that /usr/bin/gcc on Keesh builds a.out by default, although
it doesn't do it very well.)

I'd like to fix both of these problems by installing RedHat on Keesh.
If I do this, then there'll no longer be a machine in the Sipb office
that builds a.out executables by default.  (It will still be possible
to build a.out executables by using "gcc -b i486-linuxaout".)

Are there any objections to this?

-Sal.
