I've got a freebsd7.3 box running on an old VAIO PIII. For the most part
Ziggy chugs along quite well as my backup internal webserver and dns slave.

uname -a -> FreeBSD ziggy.xaerolimit.net 7.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD
7.3-RELEASE-p3 #8: Sun Oct 24 01:53:03 EDT 2010
root@ziggy.xaerolimit.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZIGGY  i386

This evening I was fixing the very old seti@home client that the machine has
been chugging with for like 5 years now. The machine started out as a
FreeBSD5 install and has been progressively upgraded over the years to it's
current incarnate. While trying to use the client from this (
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh) I get the
following error

[seti@ziggy ~]$ ./BOINC/run_client --attach_project
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu be1dc44b8692b798473781a73c1944b7 --daemon
./boinc: /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found
(required by ./boinc)
[seti@ziggy ~]$


Incidentally, the same exact i686 binary works just fine on my FBSD64-8.1
laptop ... so what gives? I don't remember seeing a readily available GLIBC
solution in ports.


Did you know...

If you play a Windows 2000 CD backwards, you hear satanic messages,
but what's worse is when you play it forward....
                                      ...it installs Windows 2000
