RE: JLime mongo using glibc 2.5?

Greetings,

There are several reasons why we use 2.5 for mongo (and donkey). But my main 
issue is to keep the jornada's updated to work with the latest and with this 
"force" development into the current and not the past. The 2.4 kernel is 
quite good and michael has done a great job, but in some ways the existance 
of a good 2.4 kernel delays the progress of a working 2.6.
Aside from this parted error, 2.5 works well and I see no reason to go back 
to using older glibc's.

I'm not quite sure what the difference is between 720degrees and debian but 
they should be quite similiar.

Best wishes
Kristoffer
