Actually GCC is needed to install some of the free programs. They are
distributed as source code :-)

Linux is fun. I enjoy testing it at least once a month. To me that is fun,
for the average user probably not. I install it on a spare machine and try
to use it as my everyday pc. So far the longest it's lasted is a week before
I hit some roadblock that I have to use a Windows machine to get by. In all
fairness I have access to the MS Action Pack subscription so whatever I need
to do I probably have some MS software that does it. Usually the roadblock
could be solved with Linux. I just don't have the time to figure out which
program I need, find the version which works with the distro I'm using,
figure out how to install it, then figure out how to use it.
