- Me, I'm not sure if getting and installing Linux (which is a very
- complete Unix system with Megabytes of software and many programming
- languages and tools included - a Great system!) just for learning C.
- I think getting a version of the GNU compiler for the already installed
- operation system (DOS, OS/2 versions exists for sure; the DOS version
- comes under the name DJGPP or GO32) would be a better idea.

- But this only an opinion.
