means a new version of GCC or

Sigh. I chose Linux over the alternatives for the following reasons:
1. High value. Very high value. Did I say the cost/performance
ratio was extraordinarily good?
2. Reliability. I don't have to reboot my system every time I
add or remove software.
Ordinarily yes, but I heard from a reliable source that this is a
Sun-like marketing move.
In this case I think it is a very professional-like marketing move.
I recently got a blast from Codeweavers (makers of Crossover) which warned
me not to update to the latest glibc libraries from Red Hat

A few of my favorite things:
1) Software that has not been touched in 8+ years still works. It may have
wacky requirements (*mutter* 8-bit apps), but it runs and people can use it.
This is like running an app written for Windows 3.1 in Windows 2000.
2) Applications, applications, applications.
