    13   <para>The host must be running at least a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with GCC-3.0
    14   or higher. There are two main reasons for this requirement. First, the Native
    15   POSIX Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel
    16   has not been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version. Second, the 2.6.2 or
    17   later version of the kernel is required for the use of Udev. Udev creates
    18   devices dynamically by reading from the <systemitem
     13    <para>Your host system should have the following software with the minimum
     14    versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most modern Linux
     15    distributions. Also note that many distributions will place software headers
     16    into separate packages, often in the form of <quote>[package-name]-devel</quote>
     17    or <quote>[package-name]-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those as well, if
     18    your distribution provides them.</para>

     73  <para>There are two main reasons for the kernel version requirement. First,
     74  the Native POSIX Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the
     75  host's kernel has not been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version. Second,
     76  the 2.6.2 or later version of the kernel is required for the use of Udev.
     77  Udev creates devices dynamically by reading from the <systemitem
    1978  class="filesystem">sysfs</systemitem> file system. However, support for this
    2079  filesystem has only recently been implemented in most of the kernel drivers.

    42   option can also be seen as a gauge of your current Linux skills. If this
