If you use the autotools (automake, autoconf) for build configuration it might take a bit of getting used to if you're mainly a windows developer but once you use these, your code becomes very portable (you'll find that many things will build on BSD, Solaris, even MacOS X without any changes). But of course, lots of this depends on the devices your program utilizes. If you can't get a good, native working driver for a particular devices under Linux, there are programs which allow you to use a DOS driver under Linux. This isn't as good as being able to use a native driver, but it is better than not having working code. > After the holidays (and my wedding on the 29th <g>) I probably > will get back to looking at Linux.
