My son just moved to Colorado Springs (booo! not that there is anything wrong with Colorado Springs except the distance ;-( and while, over the past several years, I have had no luck in getting him interested in Linux, since he has moved, he has expressed an interest in learning to build programs in a Linux environment. (go figure ;-)
He is primarily interested in building a "point of sale" system, and sees the unnecessary limitations he faces in the M$ environment as finally being a problem. I suspect, being in a new town, he could use someone of similar programming interests to "brainstorm" with as well. He is proficient in both C and C++, so he probably just needs to be pointed to where things are in a Debian system, and he will be off and running. If there is anyone in the area who would be interested in making this contact, please contact me in private e-mail and I'll provide the necessary information. In addition, I would ask that whoever takes on this "task" please try to convince him to port his "mill" game to Linux, so I can package it for the distribution.
