<DIV><SPAN class=984382701-15112007><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a long time
programmer (professionally since 1984) I'm looking to expand my horizons and
learn to develop applications in Linux. I've dabbled here and there in
different distros and used Quanta for web development (and for the most
part liked it). For developing "window like" applications for KDE,
Gnome, etc what would you suggest for the language, development environment
(ide), libraries (for graphics, sound, etc), and is any distro 'better'
than others for development? I've done a little research on languages etc
but thought I wouldn't cloud the issue by naming them here and I want to start
with a clean slate.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
