I think u should learn C some ppl will tell you C++ is more powerfull but i think anything that Unix was made with is just fine. plue Java and C++ and alot of other langs are based on C i went from HTML, JavaScript, * very basic* java, and batch(not even sure it i whould call that a lang) to C; but i'm taking a break now to learn all about my new linux sys btw anyone know where i can get a kinda new book on redhat linux? the one i got is for v 3.0 i got 7.2.....
