Re: [newbie] learn to system program Linux

I bought the book Linux Programming By Example. If you know nothing about 
the topic, and would like a starting point, I recomment the book. The book 
is quite basic, but you should be familiar with C. The book point you 
towards the right direction, and from then on you can use the man pages for 
help. I simulated the dining philosopher problem with processes using info I 
got from this book. Good luck!

P.S. before buying the book, make sure to check it out at amazon

...what is the best way to learn Mandrake Linux System programming?

should I take a class in college?  but the course such as this is quite
stressful... I am in my last semester, hoping to have easier workload...

Is there a good book teach us about system programming such that we don't
really need to take a class for it?

thanks so much
Harry

Oh yes, I forgot. Also check The Linux Documentation Project, you might be 
able to download a book on the subject from there. www.tldp.com

Good luck.
