Questions about Unix/Linux

Hello all.

Im a young lad with very limited experience with computers, even though I have been playing with them the past 5 years. I have the experience of the random World of Warcraft player that plays games all day.

I have a huge interest in learning everything about computers and I was wondering if any experts could take the time to answers that I have.

First of all, I do like gaming quite a bit but my main interest is in building my own game from scratch. Im going to be going to school to learn everything from Basic Website Building (HTML CSS), Basic Programming (C C++), and I also want to learn Software Engineering and Graphyx Design..

So I was wondering if I start messing arround with UNIX or Linux, if it might help me in some way.

So I was wondering if you could run games on a UNIX or Linux OS..?

And if its the right path to take using a UNIX or Linux OS when you want to learn about programming?

I also do have a PASCAL book that I was given and I know its an Old Programming Language, but would it be any use learning that before I start learning C ?

Thank you for taking your time reading this.

Sincerely
-Vallzi

learn(1)						      General Commands Manual							  learn(1)

NAME
learn - Provides computer-aided instruction for the C shell SYNOPSIS
learn [-directory] [subject] [lesson] The learn command provides computer-aided instruction courses and practice in the use of Tru64 UNIX. OPTIONS
Allows you to exercise a script in a nonstandard place. DESCRIPTION
To get started, enter learn; if this is the first time that you are invoking the learn command, you are guided through a series of ques- tions to determine what type of instruction you want to receive. If you have used learn before and left your last session without completing a subject, the program uses information in $HOME/.learnrc to start you up in the same place you left off. To bypass questions, enter a subject or lesson. In order to enter a lesson, you must know the lesson number that you received in a previ- ous learn command session. If you do not know the lesson number, enter the lesson number as a subject. The learn command searches for the first lesson containing the subject you specified. If the lesson is a - (dash), learn prompts for each lesson; this is useful for debug- ging. You can specify the following subjects: files editor vi morefiles macros eqn C SUBCOMMANDS
There are a few special commands. The bye command terminates a learn session, and the where command tells you of your progress (where m tells you more.) The again command redisplays the text of the lesson and again lesson lets you review lesson. The hint command prints the last part of the lesson script used to evaluate a response, while hint m prints the entire lesson script. This is useful for debugging lessons and might possibly give you an idea about what is expected. EXAMPLES
To take the online lesson about files, enter: learn files You are then prompted for further input. FILES
Playpen directories. Start-up information. SEE ALSO
Commands: csh(1), ex(1) learn(1)
