I would rather qualify Ubuntu as hell when deploying large setups of machines that have to be kept in working order for a long while. We should give top notch support for RHEL if we want to be relevant in spaces like Hadoop for example as the reference platform is RHEL/CentOS.

There's a reason it's referred to by numerous developers as R-HELL.

Hi,
Hi!
Well, our redhat 6.9 systems have 2.12, so, that qualifies.
And yes, we still have RedHat 6, and 6.9 was released only 6 months ago! It will finish extended support in a mind-blowing 7 more years in 2024.
Redhat 5, still supported for another 3 years till 2020 has glibc 2.5.
for a brief moment you really scared me. I thought you referred to RedHat Linux 6 which was released in 1999 but you are referring to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
As it turns out we have "latest" (as soon as a commit is made to pharo-vm.git) and hand curated "stable" (hand created source tarballs, rebuilt from a git commit of opensmalltalk-vm) for RHEL6 and CentOS 6.
CentOS 6.x:
# Add the repo $ yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/Ce...
OR (for stable): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/Ce...
# Install 32bit packages (with X11 dependency for *-ui or not)
$ yum install pharo6-32-ui.i686 or pharo6-32.i386
# Install 64bit packages
$ yum install pharo6-64-ui.x86_64 pharo6-64.x86_64
