For the reasons given above I really think the ideal combo would be Redhat

BTW Mandrake installer is GPL and Mandrake "stole" from RedHat three years

AFAIK _all_ gcc versions prior to 3.0 ignore MMX, they just insert youtr asm

in the asm output they insert. The MMX handling is done by the assembler
(ie binutils)
not by gcc.

A fez days ago someone in this list told about split-distro who is
supposed to be pppart of anaconda and is supposed to allow building a
multiCD distribution. However it is not in the anaconda or
