Hello Linuxer !!
Consider to have my system Xwindow-ed, i download XFree 4.0.2, but i don't know which one to download because i don't know which libc in my system. I use RedHat 6.2, when i run rpm -qa > a.out, then searching to a.out, i found libc5 and glibc21 ? So which one actually my system use ? Please...

One easy way would be to do: strings /lib/libc.so.6|grep "GNU C Library", and read the version string.

But if you're running RH 6.2, you'll be running glibc2.1
