Uh oh, in the early days of mysql 5.0 there was a little DBA and factotum, call him Vivo. Having an opteron 246 and a new application to be backed up by MySQL. After many tryals on many distros, the _only_one_ to be able to give a relatively stable experience was Gentoo. SuSE, RedHat, all had problems, with the new shiny database and all that 64 bit stuff. In general interaction between C/C++ libraries and programs seem too exponentially go up if libraries and applications are compiled in different environments (with exponent related to number of environment) Gentoo avoid this problem. in general Vivo found gentoo the most /stable/ distro for server stuff. And absolutely the easyer platform where try/test new (FOSS) softwares, thanks to bash scripts that replaces dpkg/rpm. BTW Vivo actual options for the compiler are: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" and those for the opteron CFLAGS="-O2 - march=opteron -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" Regarding GCC 4.3 it will become stable in a relatively short time (weeks) on gentoo. - Francesco
