I’m using GNU/Linux, and i586-mingw32msvc-gcc-3.4.5, to compile for windows. Now, I wonder :
Is the C program I compile with mingw a real windows executable? Will it run the same as one compiled on say… Turbo C? Is there a difference in speeds of compiled programs, using mingw, and any other windows C compiler?

Okay, I’ve looked around, but can’t find a proper answer from Linux users. They tell me that it’s a "GNU Unix Linux Operating system with customizable" blah blah blah.

I’ve heard it’s a GREAT system to run, but what is it in a nutshell?

I know that GNU means freeware basically, but please, someone want to help me out here?

Specifically, I want to remap the All Caps key to another backspace. I am running Ubuntu 10.04.

Richard Stallman(creator of GNU/Linux) is saying that he might remove linux because people are making it closed instead of what it originally was (open)

Closed means that it is propriotory and that it will cost money and there will be many restrictions but open means that it will be available for use for anybody and modifications to the open version is free as to the user without any costs (money and so on)
Larry Ellison made a version of linux that is called enterprise linux unbreakable which is closed and wants to charge money for it. This is why Richard Stallman wants to change open source but has not yet.

give the name particular O.S, do not give me "unix" give me answer which unix?do not type "gnu/linux " give me which "gnu/linux"…powerful security means cant hack, cant detect virus

Used GNU/linux at home and never looked back at windows or MAC?

I wrote a GNU/LINUX shell script in k-shell and put it in /ordon/scripts/test. I added the script path to my .profile file, but my scripts won’t run outside of the directory where the script is.

"#!/bin/ksh
print ‘This script focuses on reading and searching multiple strings’
sleep 2"

-bash-3.00$ testy
-bash: testy: command not found

$ testy
ksh: testy: not found
$

PATH=/scripts/bin:/ordon/scripts/test:$PATH

I would like to install Gentoo GNU/Linux. How do you install it? I am using a Dell computer and Windows XP. I heard Gentoo is much better for a lot of things.
