    Tons of bug fixes
    Lots of new features, tweaks and refinements

Core system updates
    glibc 2.2.5
    new shadow/pam packages
    new more flexible autoconf packages
    updates to many core packages, including SGI XFS-related tools

New kernel:
    "2.4.19": 2.4.19-pre2-ac4-XFS
    Includes up-to-the-minute XFS support,
    O(1) scheduler,
