Hi, I am learning to program in c and I am looking to buy a machine to run linux. So I just have some questions. 1. I will just be doing the following: using a text editor, using gcc, using the web and email a little bit, Using the rockbox compilers I will install and I will also be copying files to and from USB drives. So my question is what sort of machine will I need? Would one with 633 mhz cpu 128 mb of ram and a 10 gb hard drive work. I am just getting into this so I don't need the best results but would that run speak up and linux fine? 2. Does speak up give me access to everything in linux including the command line interface? 3. What is a good text editor for programming on linux? I need one that does the indentation as well as saves with unix style line endings. 4. Will I have access to gcc? 5. Does anyone know of a basic linux guide? 6. How hard is speak up to install? If someone could help me out with these questions I would greatly appreciate it. -- Daniel Dalton
