Comment Ease of Programming,especially games. (Score 0) 642
Chris, I've seen you on the TSS and I've learned a lot about linux from you. I think that your should show how easy it is to program in almost any language in Linux, versus all the time you would have to spend downloading stuff on windows to do the same job. For example show how easy it is write a tcl script, show off the python interpreter, or write a c++ program,compile, and test it. Show them some of the editors that come with Linux, such as emacs(my fav.),vi, and pico.
If you really want to get there attention show them how to make a simple game, using sdl or ClanLib, and how they can simply recompile it to run on windows. I was just at gamedev.net and noticed they had an article on learning how to develop programs in Linux, with an emphasis on games.

Keep up the good work.
