Nick Rout suggested that too.
Where can I do that in Linux?
There was no conflict in Windows. Would one appear in Linux?
Any way, searching for the IRQ information I found the file which seems to

C++ definately, but learning Java might be more useful,
at the end of the day it's just another language and when
you know one OOP language you can switch pretty easily.

It's a diffucult question that's gonna depend on what you want to do with
them. I'll echo Jeremy's comment that c++ is just another O-O language and
once you've learnt one it's pretty much just syntax differences between
them (hmm...that's not quite true, but good enough).
However, I disagree
I've dabbled in both, but wouldn't call myself a serious programmer.
The main thing is to get used to thinking of C and C++ as two completely distinct
languages.
Don't be tempted to think of C++ as a version of C.

True. But you learn a lot about memory management in the process, and
that is not a bad goal in itself.
Yes, C is the basis for almost every other

Doh! Sorry
If you are familiar with oop, there is nothing to stop you adopting
an oo approach to your C programming. The use of pointers to functions
and structures make it relatively simple to adopt an oo style to your
programming.

They use COBOL because the old timer that still work there still use it
and there is already a lot of code that still works written in COBOL.
This is not because COBOL is the best language for the job but because
that's what they've always used. There are heaps of better languages.
Sorry

Fellow tv card dudes, anyone got a Dynalink TView running

Yep, have one myself. Here's how I load it..
in modules.autoload (this is in gentoo, so probably just modules in other
distros),
you need to first load the tuner module, and set its type to 5 (PAL). Then you
can load the bttv module. I.e.:
tuner type=5
bttv
this works fine for me...just make
