  46 Andy, you're forgetting something:
  47
  48 Red Hat 7.0 is using a &quot;non-production&quot; version of GCC, a move sternly
  49 questioned by Linus AND the GCC Steering Committee themselves, according
  50 to one article I've read.
  51
  52 This in mind, I hereby coin the term, &quot;bloody edge&quot;, which is what happens
  53 when you push the envelope just a tad TOO hard beyond &quot;bleeding edge&quot;.
  54
  55 I could go on with my tirade about Red Hat, but short, sweet and to the
  56 point, if you place any value your system's security and stability, you do
  57 -NOT- want to use Red Hat.  :P
