In other words, the next Debian release based on gcc 3.5 or later will require a 2.6 parisc kernel? If that's the case, we are looking several years out and I personally don't see a problem with it. Folks can continue to run "sarge" for a long time after that if they are happy with it. Gentoo folks will have to "pin" the compiler rev if they want to use 2.4 kernels. I trust we don't have to worry about HPUX, HP-RT, or MPE and issues with gcc/java? :^) thanks, grant
