Well, then I guess my next question would be is there a gcc/g++ compiler for SUSE Linux?

<div>
yes, and it can be installed right from the CDs you download from SuSe

I currrently have software that was developed for RH Linux. &nbsp;I would like to have these programs run on SUSE Linux. &nbsp;Will the binaries that I have running on RH Linux run on SUSE Linux (without re-compiling) or will I need to get a SUSE development environment and re-compile all my RH programs? &nbsp;In other words, can I simply copy the RH binaries to the SUSE machine and expect them to work?<br />

Thanks.

Moving from RH Linux to SUSE

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
