Ok so I actually have reason to "refresh" my linux skills.
1. Which distros do people use now (mainly for software development) 2. What C++ compiler is the standard? (Chuck, feel free to mention those you work with, they will probably matter more to me) |

What C++ compiler is the standard? (Chuck, feel free to mention those you work with, they will probably matter more to me) If you wanna refresh your skills don't puss out. Go with a basic Slackware distribution....I mean, get the slackware CD's, install the basic binary utilities package, a compiler, and the kernel source ... Then, build from there. Gentoo was supposed to be the distro that automated this, but back in the day before GCC was optimized for 586 instruction code (which now I'm assuming it's optimized for newer processors as well) I'd get pgcc, then recompile _EVERYTHING_ with the 586 flags set, etc .. I would literally install as minimalistic of Slackware base as I could then tweak that and build it up from scratch from there, manually building the system and checking basic security along thw way .. Worked wonders, I always had the leanest fastest nicest Linux systems ...>WAY< better than the default bloatware rehdat crap, etc.. One of these days I will do this again. If I knew Linux would work on my laptop I'd probably have it on here right now. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
