Darkelve Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 "Building Linux applications". It really teaches you that?? That would be swell, for I'd love to start programming/building simple apps for Linux (just started to learn C++). Or do they just mean 'compiling from source'??

mtweidmann Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Sounds like something worth having. I haven't bought any Linux box set since MDK 7.1, so all my printed docs are a bit out of date. Now if only I had some money..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I haven't bought any Linux box set since MDK 7.1, so all my printed docs are a bit out of date. Now if only I had some money..... It is kind of expensive. Then again, knowing these guys it could be well worth it. I'm kind of doubting myself. Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I like the sound of all of it on a dvd - the docs are cool, but I'd rarely use them. It's the idea of supporting the best distro for newcomers that appeals to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Static, I got a DVD/Rom (bootable CD) on my machine. Does that mean I can install using this one DVD? Would be real neat, and it sure would beat all those CD-switches when installing things. Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooYah Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 You guys might want to check out this thread from the first time they tried this. For documentation, TLDP is hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
