I did follow it. I installed OpenSuse and I am getting ready to jump off
the Fedora bandwagon. The diagnosis is very simple: idiots at Red Hat
broke the compatibility. Let's use something else. What I am trying to
communicate here is stupidity and recklessness of Red Hat who did not
coordinate its compatibility breaking move with anybody. If Oracle
rewrites their distribution to use NPTL instead of Linux Threads, I may
consider starting to use it again. Fortunately, I am happy to report that
OpenSuse suffers from no such problems as Fedora and almost everything
works right out of the box.
