Considering both Jeremy and I are running RedHat 5.x currently[1], I doubt

C++'s features are highly non-portable too. If everyone hasn't already, go

It's quite a shame really. We'd basically limit ourselves to anyone with
GCC or Windows if we did move to C++. Or alternatively, limit ourselves to
"established" C++ features.

Possibly.

[1] But I'm not happy, I think I'm going back to Slackware with my 3.6 CD.
Or maybe I'll try Debian 2.0. Bought all three distributions for $1.99
each. So I can change constantly. :)
