I asked the same question just a few weeks ago. :) gcc-3.4 began, and still is, an experimental branch of pure64 using a later version of gcc. It began by using gcc-3.4 for building itself, hence its name, and is now almost completely converted over to gcc-4.0. As I understand it, it will always remain an experimental branch and at some point in the distant future, when pure64 upgrades to gcc-4.0, will simply go away. For starting out with AMD64, you should stick with pure64 (now called debian-pure64 on alioth). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
