No, I run Mandrake Linux 9.0 on an Athlon. output of gcc -v --------8<--------8<-------- Reading specs from /usr//bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java --host=i586-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk) --------8<--------8<-------- Dunno if that helps either =) Have fun, Darren
