$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)

Phoebe (RH 8.1 beta) uses 3.2.1, I hesitate installing RPMs from that onto 
what has become a fairly stable box (since my CPU swap), but I've been 
considering a kernel/glibc upgrade to solve a problem I'm having with name 
resolution via /etc/hosts 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77538)
Maybe I'll do gcc while I'm at it...

Tim

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts
