Could you explain this ??
I personally find that Linux is VERY friendly.
(the only problem is that at first the many options are irritating ...
but I have to admit that I like THAT way much better, as the M$ way to not
even make those options available to the user.)

Hmmm ... what would be faster than C (expect assembler/machine language) ?
Maybe Pascal, Delphi, Modula, Fortran, Cobol, Basic ...... or java :-)))
To my knowledge C is the fastest 'high-level' language.
(good c code is half as fast as direct machine code, but you can use all
the advantages of a high-level language ...)
And with the optimizing features of modern compilers this gap is even
reduced.
With the new 64 bit generation CPUs from AMD and Intel the Optimization
will be so complex that it will be very hard to produce code that is
equally fast as the result of a well optimizing C compiler !
These CPUs will be VERY fast, when they run optimized code.
This is the reason why you can download a emulator for this site in order
to experiment ... AMD works together with SUSE to make a 64 bit linux
distribution available, and Intel IMHO with redhat (?)
