i've been trying to learn unix off and on for a while now, and i finally trashed windoze ;-) now i'm running freebsd 4.0-release (only... no more windows at all!). anyway, when i was in college (not to long ago) i took a number of programming classes and all but one of them used c++. so, my question is, why is everything written in c? is it simply because unix was written before c++, or is c better for an os? i'm also interested in a good book on programming operating system if anyone has a recommendation (doesn't have to be geared toward unix). thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
