+"The important thing is the libc version that your app
+is linked against. The most recent version is 2.2.5
+and programs linked against it will not run with version
+2.1.X so that you will fare best if you compile your app
+on a 2.1.X system. It will then run on practically all
+Linux distros (if you link you app statically against
+the image libraries and std C++ lib)."
