Howdy Jason, Robert already answered your questions, but as for gcc--RedHat and some of the other distributions that come with everything often leave the compiler out of "everything" unless you specifically choose to install the developer tools. BTW both of your questions were answered in the list's Faq. (You got a link to it with the welcome message, but I'll post the link again.) [1] http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/linfaq.html As a CS student, you better get used to reading the docs. :) [1] The gcc question is answered, anyway--I don't think there's mention that many of the everything included distros don't include gcc with the default distribution. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: Besides, it's kind of my job.

Yeah, I've given it some thought. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDspAu+lTVdes0Z9YRAqxHAJ9x7s+hAh0cXtm9H2v39NiMCuzPcgCgxSq0 GXLzOezVVJ5qyCEwRS6+X0U= =uhs8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------ Yahoo!
