Hi Vallzi,

I'm no Unix/Linux expert but I did learn C in school, C is supposed to be procedural programming language and it has been superceded with C++ which is object oriented.

C and C++ were invented a very long time ago. From what I hear, they still use C++ to write games. Since both C and C++ are pre-compiled they are much faster when they execute as compared to an interpreted language like Java.

From a programming point of view, Java supercedes C++, I've seen a few small games written in Java as well.

I recently installed Linux and it has a few small games, I haven't tried them yet.

Personaly I think Unix/Linux are more suitable as robust and secure web servers, and less likely would be a platform to write games (but I could be wrong)

It is difficult if not impossible to build websites with C and C++. If you are interested in building sites then I recommend HTML, CSS, JSP, Java (or PHP, ColdFusion, ASP,.Net)for the middle layer and some database software.

NAME
jpackage-utils - Utilities, macros and other files for the JPackage Project <http://www.jpackage.org/>: SYNOPSIS
build-classpath build the Java classpath in a portable manner build-jar-repository build a jar repository in a portable manner rebuild-jar-repository rebuild a jar repository in a portable manner (after a jvm change...) build-classpath-directory build the Java classpath from a directory diff-jars show jar content differences jvmjar install jvm extensions create-jar-links create custom jar links clean-binary-files remove binary files from sources check-binary-files check for presence of unexpected binary files DESCRIPTION
The JPackage Project has two primary goals: - To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications. - To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation. We focus on free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted source code. Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format suggestions are welcome too. FILES
