Linux distros are quite slow in this. Most of 4.x is in unstable production. Blastwave.org(Solaris) and macada.org (Apple Mac OS X) have rolled out 4.x. Sometimes I find that it is difficult to keep abreast. One of my recent concern is that I got a compiler error from gnat 3.3.3 and 3.4.x on SuSE. There is no problem at all on 4.0.2 on Solaris. I can't find 3.4.5 update for SuSE 9.1 and I think SuSE is not going to maintain any updates for 9.1. There is no aparent reason for them to do ssince they have rolled out 10 and soon 10.1 and 10.2. The ony option is to upgrade to SuSE 9.3 or 10. The upgrade is almost like a full installation. My upgrade from SuSE 8.2 to 9.1 was a painful one. It's a nightmare to uprade 4 machines (mine, does not includes others) at work and 3 at home! -- Adrian Hoe http://adrianhoe.net
