A pretty widespread [Linux] distribution. [Jeff Hobbs] warned in the [Tcl chatroom] on 2003-05-20: "for reference for anyone else here, RH9 sucks, and sucks especially for what they did to Tk on it. Do not use the RH9 default Tcl/Tk install." What exactly did they do to it? - davidw Good alternatives are [Debian] and [Suse]. ---- Is there any mysterious reason why RedHat does not use Tcl8.4, but still distributes Tcl8.3 (in RedHat 9)? It is the only reason why I distribute my Tcl programs as Tcl8.3 versions. Suse has used Tcl8.4 for a long time. Do not tell me about stable versions. Suse is also stable with Tcl8.4. It seems that [Suse] supports Tcl better than RedHat. Suse 8.2 distribution has a special package managment point (Tcl-Development) and has also [Visual tcl] and [SpecTcl] as RPM packages. ---- [Category Company]
