I've been programming for about 1 1/2 years now...Although I'm not that
good...I PERSONALLY LOVE LINUX! It's an All-out IDE. It comes with GNU C,
and a LOT of other C/C++ Utilities...The two best compilers I've used yet
have to be GNU C and Microshaft Visual C++ 5.0. There is something that
Microshaft did right...The IDE is wonderful & the compiler comes with A LOT
of help. I like to develope under both of these great compilers. I usually
start out with gnu and then port it to windows with Visual C...If I were
you, I'd use gnu c...But, that's me anyway :)
