[Haskell-beginners] Re: Advice on what to install

[Chris Saunders]

All the advice I received suggests that I stick with the Haskell Platform so 
I don't think I will attempt to install GHC 6.12 or cabal.  I actually don't 
even really know what the Haskell Platform is - perhaps you could shed some 
light?

Chris Saunders
