If anybody is intested in my 2 cents worth, I wouldn't install gcc on a production server.  Once a root kit is installed a cracker wll often recompile binaries the emulate legitmate programs etc.

If you need to compile programs and install them on the e-smith server, do it on another computer and copy them over.

That's exactly why we don't install gcc etc.

A box running RedHat 7.3 is recommended. But make life easy for yourself, and search rpmfind.net first.
