Hi, We know RH 9 has GCC 3.2.2 or do we? :) According to the below link yes. http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/technical/packages.html According to the two links below it has GCC 3.2.1. http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/press/2003/press_rhl9/ http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/features/ Can someone at Red Hat nudge the webmaster to fix this please? As it's been two days since my email to the webmaster and still no correction. Thanks! First installs of RH 9 have brought some weird stuff and some really pleasant surprises, which I'll go through. 1. New darker colour scheme - Very nice! Makes it stronger looking and more robust than the lighter pastel crap in 8.0. :) 2. Custom install went as smooth as ever. Though had to un-check 'reiserfs-utils' which was selected by default. Also 'lilo' seems to get installed whether you want it or not and I could not find a way to stop it during the package selection and was left to rpm -e it after the install was done. Mouse wheel working during the install now was nice. 3. Icons under Gnome for .c and .h files is not correct. This was also the case under 8.0, but messing with the file types dialog used to fix it. However, alas no luck under 9 and the icons are still the generic screwdriver one. :( One thing I did see if we now do have a file type .hpp, which was not in 8.0. :) 4. Grub screen layout seems to be a little off. Shadowman is being banged on the head by text. :) Though not running dual boot (never do) setting timeout=0 soon fixed having to look at that. 5. If you go to 'System Settings->Display' and do nothing. Then click on 'Ok' rather than 'Cancel' you get the changes have been backed up and will take effect yada yada. This needs to be slightly more intuitive to change and not do this, but other than that XFree in 9 is fast and very stable! 6. If playing music with xmms and doing a CVS checkout or update. The music will pause for around a second as CVS prepares to complete some actions. I need to investigate this one though and check it's nothing todo with the CVS GUI front end I use. 7. On same hardware 9 is far far faster with app execution and the whole interface is faster. Congrats, this is very nice to see! All the above problems are minor, but take the polish off what is a fantastic release. To date Red Hat 9 has given me lots of speed and ZERO crashes! Good work and thanks too all at Red Hat, the OS is moving in the right direction every release!
