I'm very happy to find more answers here, so i try to discuss it more :) first, i think maybe it's necessory for me to post this topic here, for i'm a newbie, have few knowledge on linux, so i heavily depend on the debian system. if i ask questions at other places, they may not use debian, then their solution may not apply for me, or hard to apply for my poor knowledge. i made some thinking on nasm, yasm and gas, finally i think it's a very bad thing for nasm and yasm to come out, for they don't provide much more improvement for gas, just some non-important syntax change, so i choose gas as my assembler, and it's very convinient to programming x86_64 assembly by gas and gcc. i think it's necessory for a real software developer to know assembly in order to know clearly about how software works, i have been a microsoft platform software developer for years, and tired to be a slave of ms, so i jump to assembly now. :) thanks for your suggestions, hope i will get more help here next time i encounter difficulties. :)
