Yes,
I'm new to Linux
I've installed Linux 9.0 on my system
Now I want to use the linux ke I use my Windows OS

I program in C, C++, and Java
Please I need help on the following areas

1. How to run my Java and C programs in linux
2. How to play Movies on Linux
3. How to use linux on my network with other Windows systems

I also want to know if my linux will browse the internet through a windows system on my Lan if the IP address and ports are defined in the explorer settings.

Thanks

1) download the linux jdk from sun and make sure you have gcc (for c/c++) installed

2)look into MPlayer

3)look into Samba

Thanks aaa
I will try to download and install the one from Sun website
But for the gcc, I have it installed but I don't seems to know how to use it correctly. i've tried running some C programs with it but it keeps giving me some kind of error.
I will so happy if you can just give me a simply step by step instruction on running a simple C program.

For the Mplayer, I dont know what you mean by that and for samba, I know its installed to to access it is the problem

thanks very much

Hello beepee

take a look at http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/lnag_learning.html#gcc
it details you on how to compile basic C/C++ programs.

I would also suggest you browse through the site.. I think it is a really nice linux newbie website

http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/index.html

hope that helps
