In mandrake you can have both installed. I would suggest the latest 2.96,
it seems to work fine. In 8.1 the /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/gcc which is a symlink to /usr/bin/gcc-2.96 or
/usr/bin/gcc-3.0. You can have both installed and just change the symlink
etc/alternatives/gcc to whichever you want to use, even back and forth to
each if you want.
