   gcc linux - easy user install
  Hi,my linux knowledge is little, other than debian stable is really really old. the version of GCC installed is 2.95, and I want to install a more recent version of GCC (anything above 3.2). Seeing as disk space is limited, is there anything similar to mingw for linux?preferably something where I can type:"tar -xvf compiler.tarcd compilernewer_gcc myprogram.cpp"as thats about the extent of my linux competence.the machine is an athlonXPThanks 
  Uhh apt-get with unstable??? ;  only problem is that im not an admin.anyway, ive figured it out, got gcc3.3 on there now.
