gnupic: Thread: best OS for gnupic

Hi group,

I'm having trouble getting started. gentoo is causing me mucho frustrations.
FWIW go to bugs.gentoo.org and have a peek at #132141. Something's broke and
no-one seems to be able to fix it. It's like this: the new kernel
2.6.16zimage is installed and booted to but no modules will load and
uname -a or
modprobe -v <some_module> point to the _former_ kernel 2.6.12 !? I showed
them the evidence but I think they think I'm making it up

Is it something to do with my gcc version 3.4.5?
an example from dmesg:
<...>
May  7 10:55:38 localhost forcedeth: version magic '2.6.12-gentoo-r6 586
gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.12-gentoo-r6 586 gcc-3.3'
May
<...>

I'm ready to chuck it and try something else. Got to get into micros!
