Proof that one should not type/proofread before coffee :)

I was trying to say that since Slackware builds and links apps against
libc5.x.x libraries by default, even though Slackware 3.6 includes
glibc2.0.x as a runtime library, and Red hat 5.x builds/links against
glibc2.0.x, would a kernel built on a Slackware system then be usable on
a Red Hat 5.x system?  Again, I don't know.

There, is that comprehensible?
