If you are really a beginner, I will really recommend to you using your distribution OCaml packages, no matter if its ocaml 3.10.2 or 3.11.2. Debian and Fedora provide packages (apt-get install ocaml on Debian). > The web site[1] is beautiful (no irony) but a lot of > informations look outdated, 4/5 years old; I see many O'Caml > related sites on the Net.
