yeah. that and if something doesn't do something you want it to do then google a crash course on C and get programming ^^
I'm not sure what exactly you mean. What can you do in Windows that you can't in Linux?

I was saying that if you don't quite like how something's gone in a linux app, you can just correct it yourself and rebuild
unlike the majority of closed source windows apps

I like that some ancient piece of code that only 10 people in the world use anymore still has the chance of being updated. For example my tivo is now 7 years old and their are tools created by people who have since disappeared but it doesn't matter because any of us can continue his work.
I think we should point out to NinjaRooster that the programs can be platform independent. Meaning the same program can be compiled to run on any type of device running the OS from a Linksys router, Mac OSX, Tivo, Sun, Intel PC etc..

Yes, that's what I love about it. Even some free Windows apps are closed source. But in open source software, hell, you can even submit your changes back to the project!

Guess I'll request a free CD...I don't feel like downloading that. 6-10 weeks....ugh!
I'll give it a try when I get the CD

What platform are you interested in running the compiler?
If you're using Windows, since you're starting, and don't need a pro version, Microsoft offers this great free compiler

Visual C# express, is free, powerful, and easy to use. I highly reccomend it. They also have others for Java, C++, VB, and web development as well, all free express editions. Make sure to get the SP1 patch, and if on Vista, you'll need a Vista patch.

c#.... hmm. Proprietory language :/
I still recommend C++ it's the best you're gonna get without learning assembly and it's quite easy to pick up.
Sure pointers and the myriad of extensions can be a bit mind blowing, but it's very good just to get in to programming.
And don't put any effort into learning java, you'll get taught it at University so save yourself the hassle and just wait.
