I need some help.
I've got a c236 motherboard from Supermicro along with an i3-6100.
It's a strange pairing, but it should work well for my purposes..
-the thing is, the Bios is absolute sh...
It's honestly worse than any Bios I've seen since about 1998 (..and probably worse than that).
It's got a LOT of functions - but it's also missing some of the most stupid-obvious things, the big one being no mention of ECC memory. (..just listing the memory in the Bios.)
Now I've got 2 sticks of 16 gig ECC Unbuffered memory in it (that Supermicro has said is good for the m-board). The thing is I want to know if it's actually using the ECC memory AS ECC memory. (..though I'm not sure if most Bios would even provide you with that.)
SO.. I found this page:

Referencing this thread:

My (current) problem to see if my memory is working as ECC memory *appears* to be with compiling.
NOTE: I couldn't use any flavor of Ubuntu (video drivers are missing for the i3-6100), so I'm using the latest Live version of Fedora with Plasma
I've done (at listed at the bottom of the page in the pugetsystems web-page):
1. Copy to Desktop of the "ALL Files" .c text-program.
2. used cd Desktop (..CD Desktop didn't work).
and now the 3rd step (compiling the program) with gcc ecc_check.c -o ecc_check, doesn't seem to be working.
I get this:
bash: gcc: command not found
[liveuser@localhost Desktop]$
Any ideas?
(Note: I'm a complete Noob to the Linux terminal and programming.)
