You've never done any floating-point-intensive programming,
apparently...
Gcc may not be as good as icc in extreme cases

Hi
I would like to know whether installing from source rather than
from the repositories has any advantage in terms of performance or
something else. I didn't notice any difference when comparing
mplayer's behavior, although compiling it myself gave me the choice
of fine tuning the

I'm a FreeBSD/NetBSD user wanting to run Linux using
the same sources that I'm using on these two systems.
I discarded Gentoo for being so unstable.
Is it possible to use the tarballs I have for running
Debian ?
Thanks in advance anyone.

I am currently building a server based on potato. The three servers I am

that I can learn, screw up and ask them questions.

Just one more question. What about cvs? Am I still supposed to make packages

There is a package named 'alien' that can take care of some of this, depending
on exactly what you are needing to install.
What you do is to layout the files in some remote directory, like you
would want them installed:

Hello,
I have a couple of questions.
1. How am I supposed to install programs from tarball source code? I can untar
and compile them,
but then the debian package system doesn't recognize it.
For instance I have downloaded qt-1.44.tar.gz, compiled and installed it. Then
qt installs itself in
