I really want to use gcj, and with the speed of my Alpha (166MHz), it takes forever to compile the gcc suite. I am running 5.2.1 right now, and would upgrade to 5.3 if gcj is included. Also, a subquestion, how difficult would it be to do an upgrade from 5.2.1 -> 5.3? I noticed in the 5.2.1 installer (/stand/sysinstall) there was an option marked "upgrade".... does this work easily, or is that a tricky question to answer?? --Bryan
