1. AMD Athlon
Family 6
Model 8
Running at 1150.191 MHz 256 K cache
2. Just to make sure I did an aptitude install of build-essential which
worked and tried to install kernel-package but for some reason I
couldn't connect to the server. Not the Internet, that works ok (I
re-downloaded the NVIDIA package to make sure), just the Ubuntu servers.
3. Gcc gcc-3.4 gcc-4.0 gccbug gccbug-3.4 gccbug-4.0

First, what is the CPU type on this machine?
Second, do you have build-essential and kernel-package installed?
Third what happens when you type gcc and then the tab key a couple of times
