If you've heard about Linux and feel like giving it a go or if you want to try Linux but you're too afraid it'll shew up your computer, this article is for you. Read it, feel free to take what you need and ignore the rest. This is not a tutorial, it's a README-FIRST-like article. It should help you to take that first dive.

mo there is still no good alternative when it comes to programming ide (that is comparable to microsoft's visual studio), or a comfortable debugger (i.e. numega's softice *) on linux, and that's the main cause i'm still on windows.
They are there, you simply is not used to them or is uncapable to work efficently on them.
Vim does wonders, i write a lot of perl scripts in it daily. And even for some C programming it is the choice.
I can make and compile and run a C program faster than you'll launch your VS.
As for debugger, I have not seen softice, but what's wrong with strace+gdb?
They solved every problem I threw on with them, and I lack strace each time I have problems with software on windows.
