I would happily give programming device drivers
a try if I knew how to program in C. Does anyone
on here know anywhere good for some tutorials?
(Dumb newbie'ish' question I know, flames allowed)
I currently use WinME (I too have my reasons).
The only thing stopping me converting to a UNIX based
system is my DVD drive. I need it to be able to run
as I don't yet have a standalone.
