[TriLUG] Server DEAD!

[Jeffery Painter]

Speaking of glibc problems, I had installed Win4Lin and it's custom kernel 
croaked when running up2date causing massive glibc problems and forcing me 
to do a reinstall... just a word of warning to other win4lin users, be 
careful when updating glibc, it did not give me any dependency warnings
