[CS-FSLUG] Learning C++ in Linux

[Jonathan E. Brickman]

Well, continuity could be with USB boot.  I tried that once, didn't 
work, read that it works only with some (not all) newer USB drive 
chipsets and motherboard BIOSes.  But if I wanted to learn programming 
right now in a Unixy way, but had to leave Windows on the hardware, I 
would do Cygwin.  Lots of tools there, Xwindows there...etc.
