Re: [SLE] Is this a proper place to ask questions about NLD?
<snip>
It's also a pronounced desktop distribution, meaning the target market is business users. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't include a compiler. It is a distribution primarily aimed at those who use the computer as a tool for a job, not people who play around a lot with it.
Oh, that's good to know. That's a non-starter for me, then. Because obviously I need the compiler to install many apps from source.
Actually, I use NLD at work. The GCC compiler is included on the CD/DVD set, it just isn't installed by default. It was necessary to install it so I could compile many apps we use to access our iSeries boxes. -Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Oh, interesting. Does that mean it has most of the standard libraries you might need to build apps from tarballs? Preston
