I've recently turned into a Linux zealot. My first copy is Linux RedHat 6.1 (the kernel is 2.0 something...), but that's not too important, because as soon as I get my next check and buy some hardware, I'll be networking my home box to the Windows 98(with internet access) and then I'll be pretty much a member of the Linux "kernel of the month" club until I find one that suits me.
So, I'm sure people here can save me a lot of searching and recommend some good books/ online tutorials specifically aimed at Unix/Linux c++ and all it's myraid compilers. Mainly, I've been into C++ on Dos/Windows boxes. This won't be as hard a transition to make, I believe, because I've at least gotten some very simple programs to compile and run, but I keep running into unsupported functions (that are probably just moved to another header file and called something else, if past experience is any guide).
Also, I believe Bloodshed's Dev C++ might be worth the while here, too. I'll just have to re-download it, since I'm doing this Linux thing on a "new" hard drive.
