LinuxBios "official" requirements.

[Greg Watson]

Mathieu,

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't implying RH9 as the "default 
distribution" for LinuxBIOS. I was simply suggesting that the 
development tools (gcc, libc, python, etc.) that are supplied with RH9 
are a good approximation of the versions required to guarantee a 
successful build.
