[bt-devel] problem building BT and sword

[Mark Lybarger]

yes very helpfull. i've been wanting to try mandrake as a desktop too se 
how it differs.  i tried a debian install once, and it didn't auto-setup 
my NIC, so i dumped it.  as soon as i get a chance to d/l the iso's i'll 
give Mandrake a shot.  From what I recall, there's an 8.1 version.  Are 
there any known conflicts with this version? I'de rather go with the 
latest and greatest.

from what i can tell, the 2.96 gcc compiler is actually more "standards" 
compliant than the 2.95 released by the gnu folks.  most folks are only 
still shying away from 3.0.1 is because of the problems with multiple 
inhertiance (thus it can't build kde).
