Having said that , You are not a match for me as far as programming ability is concerend. kwel... i'll give u an award for your programming skills later..
With Ease , i could transport my Windows C++ skill to Linux Any programmer, worth his salt, can transit boundaries of platform and language. Its his/her ability to arrive at a solution that is important... with experience he/she can arrive at a more elegant solution...but everyone.. *can* arrive at a solution. So not a big task at that!! When I talk to people about Linux , i do not see much interest in programming When i talk to people about windows...all they ask is which is the latest game that you have installed!!! I had more than seventeen years of Programming Experience in C++ (under Windows ) wow.. thats very impressive... ghaush..i'm so jealous.. I am not interested in a flame war here. Me too... so lets end it here.. Joel.
