Or, 2) Do you want to acquire a programming language primarily to have the most used/useful programming skills in order to write a program? (at least useful to you). Both these objectives may be intertwined, but which is your primary goal now? Different goals, different programs. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
