Programming in Linux

[StreetSmart]

I'm reading allot of stuff on a program called "Wine" which supposedly
allows you to run windows on top of Linux, sort of like an emulator would
emulate a game. What can this sort of program be used for and what is the
best available for Linux.

In general, you will stand a chance of getting most of this (except vb) if
you
install Linux as a "developer" workstation in most distros such as Mandrake.
You will get a ton of other languages besides.

    VB - Forget it (although I thought there was some kind of attempt to
    do this by someone).

    C++ - gpp (You don't have to go to any trouble to install this. It's
    usually there.)

    java - The compile and doc tools are usually there if you choose to
    install "developer tools" or something to that effect in whatever
    distro. Otherwise you only get the runtime libraries to run other
    people's stuff (not too helpful)
