[wellylug] Sarge approaching release

[Ian Sterling]

A thought just occurred to me - which version of gcc is shipped with
Sarge anyway?  I've been using distcc a lot these days with my gentoo
boxen, and it'd be nice if I could put it on the server to use those
mostly-idle procs for compiling with...  But distcc requires the same
minor release of gcc to be on all machines (ie. 3.3.x -> 3.3.x works,
but not 3.3.x -> 2.95.x which is on my Woody box at the moment)...  If
Sarge comes with 3.3.x, then that would rock my sox.

Uhh, anyway, I'm babbling...

Well, YUM is becoming the default upgrader in these newer releases. 
It' works quite nicely, but is nowhere NEAR as fast as apt.

More like a broken task.  I've tried upgrading and finding that KDE is
b0rk3n, etc... The last time that happened it was several weeks before
a fixed task was pushed out.  I did fix it manually, but it was a real
PITA. (not a bread pita, but a ... you get the idea)
