[CLUE-Tech] GCC versions

Hi, folks--

I am (finally) upgrading one of my Debian boxes from Potato to Woody.
I've installed the base system and am now going over the package list to
remove unneeded stuff that was installed and add a few more goodies. I
notice that two versions of GCC were installed: 2.95 and 3.0. I'm
wondering if there's any good reason to have both. Now, I do compile
packages from source quite often, but I'm not a C programmer, and up
until now I've been using 2.95 for everything with no apparent problems.

Any idea?
