You would find more people inclined tofollow your suggestions if you did not attack other free software in order to promote your favourites.
I don't think he's trying to attack "other" Free Software. I guess he has been a avid Fedora / Redhat user and has managed to do quite a lot in it. I began with RH9 and never cared to upgrade because, I thought it would mess up the existing windows setup :(
As Roshan experienced,one must download them from the right repos which
isn't the case with
Debian, Fedora, Slackware, Mandriva or the likes.
Debian standard also does not come with gcceither. It is, again, an optional package.
I guess, this is the case with most distros that one has to get it from the repos or do a sort-of custom install (selecting packages). For RH9, I had to pop in the CDs (2 / 3) to install GCC (and a bunch of other compilers for languages I hadn't heard about).
