FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution. Also, if Linus said that, he was either talking about an unreleased version or he was talking out of his ass: % uname -sr FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE % gcc -v Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD] Anyone can, of course, use whatever compiler they want in a `make world', but 2.95.3 is the one installed by default, and the one used by the ports system. -- Eric McCoy (reverse "ten.xoc@mpe", mail to "ctr2sprt" is filtered) "Last I checked, it wasn't the power cord for the Clue Generator that was sticking up your ass." - John Novak, rasfwrj
