That's somewhat misleading. It's more accurate to state that GNU/Linux on
32bit architectures, for some combinations of kernel and C library, has a
maximum file size of 2GB.
Your options to have >2Gb files on GNU/Linux therefore include
- switching to a 64bit platform, say Alpha, Itanic or PowerPC64 or
- switching to a recent (>= 2.1) version of the GNU C library and a recent
(e.g. 2.4.x) kernel.
