Not at all, I should have explained more from the outset.  At work, I
currently use Debian to compile our internal project which needs gcc 3
(there is some problem with template instantiation on gcc 2.95, the
details of which I cannot rememember right now).

Over this vacation (I live in the States where there is a major
holiday), I was browsing around and came across netbsd.org, and started
doing some reading.  I became interested enough to want to give it a
whirl, so I was hoping that gcc 3 was in there somewhere (either
backported to 1.5.2, or buried within the 1.6 beta which I have not
looked at yet), so that, in the event I liked it, I would have the option
of running it at work, where gcc 3 is required.
