GCC 3.0.4 is Out

Posted by michael on from the which-gcc dept.

Isle writes: "GCC 3.0.4 has finally been released. As those who has tried the prereleases will know this version finally compiles a working version of aRts and thus compiles the entire KDE-suite. With the Linux kernel compiling already with the 3.0.3 version, gcc 3.0 now compiles all major projects I know of. Is it finally time to dump that good old 2.95?"

    Free Software is better than whatever "Open Source" is. And not enough people know that. And I already run "virtual rms" (vrms - a debian program that scans your machine for non-free packages at tells you RMS would be proud/disappointed accordingly), and I have no problem integrating it into ls. Although emacs dired mode seems more appropriate.

    I trust the FSF to maintain their total and complete, very literal minded dedication to Freedom. Their admittedly sometimes annoying prostelytizing is part of why I trust them. FreeBSD might be 10 times as fast and technically better than a GNU system on Linux or HURD, but if I'm going to invest the time and effort to learn to use something, I'm going to committ to the system that seems willing to committ to not fucking me.

    If you want a propaganda free system, use Solaris or FreeBSD.
