The current RedHat release is Enterprise v4, which is less than a year 
old. Both RHEL 4.0 and 4.2 have glib/gtk+ 1.2.10. If you want the 
'professional' users, and the small shops which don't employ Linux 
sysadmins (ie. all of them), then these are the ones to support.

I've just installed two very expensive packages. Both required either RH 
7.2 or RHEL 2 or 3; no other Linux distros were supported. They wont 
even install on anything else unless you spoof /etc/issue and 
/etc/redhat-release.
