I agree, that gcc is very ansi, but g++ doesn't handle all the 
newer c++ stuff (templates, exceptions) very well. Exceptions
are a big problem I think, while templates are only 
problematic if you do 'nasty' things with them 
(e.g. see blitz++ project). Try using the repo patch.
For beginners, everything should be fine.

gcc 2.8.0 will incorporate most of the C++ standard and it will
come out RSN...  ;)
