hi all, i have been working on rhide for abt 1 year now.... it is a real good development tool and is just like turbo c....moreover there are several ports of turbo vision for linux available... its looks, debugger support, integrated help system is really cool. But over all i have a personal opinion that we shudnt provide our future army with kiddo tools and rather let them experience the good taste of vi and emacs...Moreover, if we encourage young generations to horne their skills on linux i guess linux will be able to achive its goal earlier than expected.

If we're aiming to popularise Linux in schools, one (though not the only) argument we have to present is cost. If after installing Linux we say, `However you still need to purchase Turbo C (or any other DOS/Win app)', we lose that advantage. Further, I personally feel that we should try to promote Linux as a complete replacement for all the schools' requirements. Promoting a mix of Linux and DOS/Windows weakens our case significantly since it projects Linux as an incomplete and consequently undesirable solution. Remember, we are fighting years of inertia here, and cannot afford to have any chinks in our armour at all. I'm glad this discussion came up, since it enables us to look deeper into a school's requirements and determine what we can provide to meet them. There's RHIDE for Linux, which (from the one screenshot I saw) appears to look and work exactly like Turbo C. Anyone willing to evaluate that in terms of usefulness to schools?
