If your primary concern for an operating system is based on if it runs
old games - XP probably isn't for you.  If you are tired of the reboot of
the hour - and want to be able to run for weeks or months on end without
rebooting or losing data, XP runs circles around any Win 9x based kernel.

(much ranting snipped ...)

There are several working versions of the GCC compiler collection and many of 
the support tools on Simtel, and they have been there for over a month when 
you wrote this message.  (There was a reply in the thread 2 weeks before 
which pointed that out).  Please try to check facts first.
