Hi folks,
I just joined this mailing list. I am interested to findout more about
linux because it seems to be in the good books of many accomplished
programmers.
I had a few questions about Linux that I wanted to ask. Why is linux so
adored by computer science majors? Why do we have a linux lab instead of a
windows lab in Painter basement, when all the programs can just aswell be
written under Windows 95? Why does Lavender in his OOP class, encourage
students to use LINUX for programming, even though the g++ debugger is far
less user-friendly compared to those found in conventional languages?
I also have another question. I am taking an Operating Systems class with
Brice next semester. I have heard he is a really easy 'A', but doesn't
make you learn much. Other choices we have are Peterson, Elzonahy and
Batory(incorrect spelling). Which professor do you suggest, for learning
purposes? How important do you think good knowledge of operating systems
is in industry? Do you think I should go for the 'A', or the 'learning'
path?
I would really appreciate any replies
Moez
