It is exactly other way around. Most recent distro releases have 
best software support. You are trying to use commercial software 
mentality which does not work well with the way Linux software is 
developed. Same for libc issue - you can use stuff built vs old 
libc version with new one, it is actually what we do with DMD 
distribution.
