I know =)

thanks for reminding us... what o/s do you use? if *nix, what flavor?

I'm on a 1 GHZ dual boot Redhat Linux 7.2 (KDE) /Windows 2000 box.
I'm OK at linux.
I am only using Windows because I am too inept to configure my cable modem in linux

.
If anyone has some magic bean that will help me, I'm all ears.

you should stop by the irc channel one night ..

irc.openprojects.net #codenewbie

i'm running rh7.3, and win2k on another system.. as much as i would love to say i don't need windows, .. i don't think i could do w/o it yet.

Come on, you can do it. Repeat after me:

"I don't need Windows"

I'll stop by this IRC tomorrow. Er...today

Stupid insomniac tendencies of mine.
I guess it IS a good skill for a programmer to have though...

what else do you program besides c++?

w00t · 07-29-2002, 11:29 PM

I've just started programming in general. I only know some basic C++.
I'm going to be a Junior in HS.
My school doesn't provide any sort of programming class.
I think I'll go to tech school to get a good firm grip on as many Languages as i can. But until then, I'm kind of on my own.

there is too much good software on windows to ditch it completely...

please port all adobe and macromedia over to *nix.

sde · 07-30-2002, 06:55 AM

oh damn matt! that's some good thinkin.. if all adobe products were ported over, .. i might be able to ditch windoze =)

i think about that everytime i have to deal with some stupid **** on windows...

if i could get photoshop & imageready i would drop windows 100% (well i would really like counter strike too)
