C has been developped by and for UNIX. there's no better system to code
in C.
C++ can also be compiled with gcc so you may learn C++ also under linux.
The only thing you won't learn under linux is how to program the WIN??
Graphical User Interface.
But with VISUALC++ you'll never learn how to code X11 apps too ....
This is just a matter of what system will your apps use ...
if you just want to learn strict C and C++ both will do, (and i prefer
UNIX for that).

Greetings to all,
I apologize for the irrelevancy of my subject but there is no other
source I can come up with to get an answer to my question...at least not
yet. Here's my dilemma.
Linux is something completely new to me but since I started ('round 2
months ago), I've also developed an interest in c programming. I've
been learning to program on my own using Linux and I'm having a good
time.
However, I'm getting a lot of negative response from many when I tell
them about my new adventure (most of them are total microsoft geeks).
They suggest learning C++, or visual basic, or Visual C++...and now I'm
confused. I have no programming experience whatsoever and would like
some helpful advice from you gurus out there.
Best wishes...
