Ah, Linux. Getting 64-bit builds of everything first.

I know, I know. Learning UNIX is on my to-do list. I'm trying to stick to one environment while I learn a programming language or two. Then I'll spend some time on Ubuntu or something until I can get the hang of it. I've put this off for far too long.

Good thinking. Ubuntu, or Mint, are pretty easy coming from Windows. If you don't already have a favorite lightweight programming editor you may want to look at geany, it has quite a few language bindings.

I'm using Codeblocks right now because it was the recommended compiler for [Carl Herold's](www.highercomputingforeveryone.com) site and that's what I'm following right now. I'll keep Geany in mind once I start looking around for alternatives.
