Hi Chris
The problem with gcc-3.2 is it does not compile a fully functional kernel with hard realtime patches incorporated. Without realtime working reliably, any install is nothing more than wasted disk space to me (nomex suit on). I know Debian uses gcc-2.95, but what an arcane and long winded process to do a simple install (fire extinguisher to hand). Using dselect or apt-get (and friends) is far from intuitive.. Sorry Mark.
What I want is a system that I can run hard realtime applications on, and also build RPM packages for distribution. If I have to compile the whole system from the ground up, so be it - As long as I can build the RPMs along the way so that the installation can be replicated quickly and easily on another computer when needed.
Regards, Paul.

What are the problems you're having with gcc3? I'm using gcc 3.04 on Mandrake 8.2 and have had no problems with anything it's compiled.
I'm running gcc3.2 in gentoo 1.4 and it's fine! *touchwood ;)*
