GCC or GCC-4.0 ?

[tebbens]

I want to compile some programs and need to install GCC.

Synaptic lists GCC and GCC-4.0.
What is the difference, and what do I install ?

Thanks !

gcc is a meta-package which depends on the latest version of the gcc compiler :)

Where can I find a list of meta-packages for ubuntu ?

Thanks !
