Maybe it's left       out of consideration due to my translation but from my point of view we're       talking about different things. You said a system without gcc is a toy. But       now i see that your are talking about your computer systems only.              I was talking about servers in general. The job of a server is to provide       service for specific task(s). A file server have to serve files, a web server       have to deliver webpages.               KR>> I doubt that you - if you're responsible for 100 computers -        KR>> would run a build environment on every machine and compile any        KR>> software 100 times.               MK> At the moment 3 is exactly enough.

The most I've had going        MK> at the same time is 4 and all had dev and build environments (gcc and        MK> friends).              That's fine but the next time please don't talk about "anything" if you're       talking about "your" systems. I see and understand why "your" systems need a       dev environment but that is not required for "any" existing system.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 227/114 229/354 426 452 616 1014 240/77 5138 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 633/280 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/77 5832 229/426           |
