There is no Y2k problem on Linux. Do you even know what the Y2k problem is?

Anarchy Dave.
Thank you for the advice.

I understand that my requirement is very abstactly.
I have known that Unix vender such as SUN releases the patch for Y2K problem.
Though I do not know the detail of the patch, it solves Y2K problem on UNIX.
So, old UNIX SVR4 commands which read or write a 2 digit year worked incorrect year action.
For example, /bin/sar command displayed 100 in yy field.
I would like to know what problem for Y2K is on Linux.
