Not really. They get a bit of a culture shock when they realize that they actually have something called a compiler and it is different from the stuff they write programs in. I had a few colleagues complaining to no end about how poor Linux was as a development environment because the had to write the program with a different program and compile with another. It took them a while to understand the amount of power and flexibility unleashed by the combo. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
