I've been using 2.1.1 since late May, and I've found it very
stable; also I think I've seen a speed advantage over earlier
glibc versions. I understand 2.1.1 contains a lot of bug fixes.
On the other hand I've also had very good results running glibc
2.0.7pre6. That's the libc on the server running this list,
which has been up continuously since that upgrade, over 5 months
ago.
