I'm using the Portland Group F90 and HPF compilers quite happily. They
don't seem to offer that big a win over g77 or f2c other than the
Fortran 90 support (and autoparallelisation for those occasions where it
works) - I probably wouldn't bother at all if I'd had to pay for them.
We seem to be getting free spreadsheets, so now the only thing I used
that I can't get as free software is a F90 compiler, but sadly few
people even seem interested in helping improve g77. :-(

The best summary of what's out there for Linux is probably the page put
together by Jeff Templon at
