I just wish to not have a bugs :-). In fact most of bugs I have to deal 
with or too simple that I can
catch them by just looking in to the source code while I am in subway or 
couldn't be debugged at all.

Most probably I'll setup dgb for training, to improve my gdb skills, 
since during school summer
vacation that just started for me I'll have more spare time (that could 
be eaten buy primary work :-( )
