It's just a bunch of cables and PCBs!

: In /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc25,  you'll  find  a  gcc 2.5.8. It  is  not  yet
: recommended to use it as the default 'cc' compiler but  you may try. Change
: the cc to cc25 into the Makefile to have 2.5.8 built.

Oops, never got that src distribution. Oh well...

Why isn't it recommended? It's buggy isn't it?

Also what AT&T C++ compiler does gcc 2.4 and 2.5.8 use? I'm taking some 
C++ programming class, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be having 
any problems with the compiler.
