It is kernel 2.6.12 straight from Knoppix (and we also have 2.4 re-imported
from clusterKnoppix for the openMosix support).  

So whatever compiler Klaus used ...  The default compiler appears to be gcc
4.0 (from 'gcc --version' as well as inspecting the output of 'ls -l
/usr/bin/gc*'.  Note that you also have gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 installed.

Lastly, if you look at /usr/src/linux (aka /usr/src/linux-2.6.12) and inspect
the Makefile, you see that CC default to gcc (with a possible prefix for
cross-compiling which doesn't apply to us).

So my money is on gcc 4.0.  Good luck, and report back when you get it
working!

Cheers, Dirk
