Thank a lot, guys -- your replies have been extremely helpful. A few things left that I wanted to wrap up if anyone gets the time:

1.) Like I mentioned, I'm running a MacBook right now, but am most likely going to be buying an expensive PC soon. It was mentioned, however, that it may be a good idea to mess around with installing various Unix OS's on a machine that is strictly used for that purpose, that way protecting the other machines from any side effects of this experimentation, especially since I will be doing a lot of development with the Unix OS's, which can have side effects in itself. So, in place of or in addition to the high-end PC I am thinking about buying, I may look into an inexpensive little notebook for running various Unix OS's. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I should buy if I wanted to do this? I would want it to be cheaper, since it would just be for the sake of experimenting with different Unix OS's and development on those OS's, but I would also want it to be fully functional in that sense (not a P.O.S., in other words) -- so what would be the minimum basic specs I should be looking to buy on a notebook for this purpose that would be as cheap as possible but still allow for sufficient performance for the purposes I've discussed? Also, what type of notebook should I be looking at? Are there any alternatives to the standard PC/Mac decision -- is there anything else out there that I should be checking out? I know desktops can be custom-built from the ground up -- can this be done with notebooks too?

Thank you very much for your time and help!

Does the assembler output differ between operating systems ?

The assembly code generated by assembler, from a C-source code depends on the CPU architecture underlying it, eg x-86 . Then does the assembler output of a simple C-source code (containing common function-calls of both windows and linux) differ between Operating Systems ?

mgpnet

MGPNET(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 MGPNET(1)

NAME

     mgpnet -- MagicPoint Netserver (provide MagicPoint presentation over the net)

SYNOPSIS

     mgpnet [arguments to mgp]

DESCRIPTION

     mgpnet is a small http server to be executed on the presenter's notebook computer.  It lets audience read MagicPoint presentation foils on
     her notebook computers, over the net.

     When a presenter performs a presentation, she should invoke mgpnet instead of mgp, with the same argument.  mgpnet will become an http server
     running on tcp port 9999 (by default), and invokes mgp as a child process.  By accessing URL http://hostname:9999/, audience will be able to
     read the MagicPoint window currently displayed on the presenter's notebook.  The webpage provided by mgpnet is designed in "client pull" man-
     ner; audience's notebook will reload the page, several times a minute.

     If no option is specified, mgpnet will print the URL to be accessed by the audience to the standard output.  This is useful for indicating
     the URL to be accessed on the presentation, like:

     %filter "mgpnet"
     %endfilter

TODO

     Be network conscious.  Current implementation is too naive about CPU/network usage.  Presenter's notebook may be overloaded if there's too
     many audiences.

SEE ALSO

     mgp(1), xwintoppm(1).

HISTORY

     mgpnet was created by Jun-ichiro itojun Itoh <itojun@itojun.org>, on the day before the newyear's eve, 1997.
