1) Avoid assembler. Assembler is rarely used in Linux for anything other than low-level kernel and device driver development. Use C wherever possible -- it makes your applications the most portable.
2) Read "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernigan and Plauger. It will help you understand the basic development environment that is ubiquitous in the Unix/Linux world. 3) Find an old PC and install the distribution you want to use on it. Use that to experiment with the environment. 4) Repeat 3 until happy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
