IOW, no HUGE Monstrosities. Also, if you look you will find that GCC v3.4 is already available in the Debian Archive. AND GCC v3.5 too. Start exploring dude... best way to figure debian out is to try things. there are quite a few options a few keystrokes away. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
