    Some apps have been completely ignored by their maintainers for years and it would be a pain not being able to compile them.

    It sounds like the apps are incompatible with gcc, not the other way around.

    Maybe you were just trolling, in which case, IHBT, I'll have a nice day. :)

    up2date is MUCH WORSE than urpmi from mandrake.
    You have to give your system configuration to RedHat to use it, therefore giving up your privacy.
    In urpmi you just use mirrors and update is going without sending any information from your computer.
