thanks very much for your links, I will look what matching best for me (IDE) and tell you later how my C-programs runing at Linux.

Regarding your query about an IDE in linux for C / C++. I can give you the following links. These links have a list of some famous and most widely used IDEs in linux.

I have seen emacs, KDevelop, QT4 and Glade, being used most of the time.

I got forward very well in Linux. I already tried my knowledge at
Linux, BSD and Mac Computer and like it. Now understand what
means unixoid.

One thing I now very interested and want ask you:
Still I working at the Command-Level and TEXT-System.
Now I would like very very much to program something in
C like I did in DOS-Times, I mean in TEXT-Mode. In former
time exist such IDE like from Borland what integrated
Editor, Compiler, Debugger (C-Programming). Such I
looking for, but NOT X-Windows!

Second you told, that mySQL was taken over by Oracle.
Maybe better use Postgres as Database for my Linux
C-Programs? Maybe you have a Link where I can get
some Examples for usage in Linux. I more need examples
than a course, because I already know very good who
its working with DOS and now I want migrate my
C/C++ – programs to Linux.

I know some admins who would like to migrate from Windows to Linux but most of them not knew where starting, lost orientation, get stuck and short time later give up.

Someone said to me first: Try Gentoo, it’s best. But this is quite frustrating for a beginner. Then I tried Ubuntu and thought: Already much better, but hardware recognition was wrong, grafic bad, WLAN not working. But Evolution working with the Exchange server and this was a realy good feeling. Then I tried Redhat and had no problem to install a basic system, that already at once working.

So I have a working system. After I see your clips, I thought: This is exactly the right way to go forward.

I will look for Dean Davis CBTs and later tell you about success.

thanks a lot for your help.

About the CBTs. Actually, I made them in 2006, purposely in Urdu, in an attempt to transfer the Linux knowledge to my fellow countrymen. I did not make it in English, because I witnessed at that time, that CBTs on Linux were already available in English language from people like Dean Davis (linuxcbts.net) and cbtnuggets etc. However, since past year, many from the English speaking world have also accessed me to make videos in English. I covered that request “partially” while making videos for HPCC. I think I have transferred enough knowledge in Urdu, and should now be back on track on making them in English. However, at the moment, I am kind of focussed on HPCC and related technologies only. I am in the process of making some CBTs on virtualization, but I cannot commit a completion date for that too. Making CBTs from/for basic-level is kind of difficult for me at this stage, just because of time constraints.
If you can get the CBTs from Dean Davis, they are really great. For the free version (from myside), you have to wait. (or worst, I cannot promise it).
In order to get more expertise on Linux in less time, I would recommend you to follow a “Course outline”, instead of jumping directly on topics like LDAP and Samba (as you have mentioned). It will be slower , but MUCH beneficial for you in the long run. Trust me. I am a trainer, and I know!
I will upload a course outline in next few days for you to follow. It is time tested. It is not just copy and paste. I made this 7/8 years ago and adjusted/perfected it over the years.

Hope it helps!

I found your website by sliding through blogs. I found this idea “Supercomputer at a desktop” quite interesting, than watching the video CBT to build the cluster in English.

Also I’m a Windows System Administrator (in former time programmer C/C++) for me it was wonderful how easy you explain linux and basic steps.

1/2 year ago, I downloaded RedHat Server and wanted look what can do with migrating Servers from Windows to Linux. But after short time I was frustrated because all this information I found was confusing, nothing just to start basically. I thought for example: “How I start with directory service?” I found something with openLDAP and Samba in combination, many huge books, but this is not for starting.

Your CBTs in English I understood very good and I wanted to go forward to the Linux-Basics in the following clips but unfortunately it was in Urdu, what I not undertand. So, maybe you can do Linux-admin-clips also in English?

You linked to
http://showmedo.com/ for programming, what will surely also will be helpfull for me. In former times I programmed very much in Borland C (DOS), I did much programming. Today I want start with Linux, but difficult for me to start in and get the basics running.
This CBT you did is exactly what I looking for.

Dear Kamran bhai,

May GOD bless you. You gave us right path to success. I did it with the help of your CBT’s, I can’t achieve this without your help.
