Debian-mentors isn't the right list for this either. Are you *sure* you want to learn C? Why not take Eric Raymond's advice at <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html> and learn Python? It's an easier language, the newsgroup "comp.lang.python" isn't very busy, and it's useful on Mac on Win32 *spit* too. To get started, install all of the packages starting with "python-" in Debian, and Emacs or XEmacs with the Python mode. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ "The risk of U.S. national security resting in the hands of adults who play with children's toys during office hours is left as an exercise to the reader." - Bruce Martin in RISKS
