Emacs & GCC not installed by default?
I just installed SUSE Linux 10.0 on my computer but when I typed " emacs & " and " gcc -c main.c" in the terminal, those programs couldn't be found. So the Linux install package does not install those programs by default?

Depends what you selected for installation - Development tools, Editors, etc. The installation is very flexible and will allow you to include/exclude most packages outside of the core/base OS.

Fire up YaST, search for the packages then install them.

Even "inetd" is not installed by default in one distribution (I forgot which one, probably Debian or SuSE). Therefore, I usually avoid all automatic package selection and jump straight to individual package selection screen to ensure everything I need are installed. Of course you can always install them later as needed.
