>Started a systems programming class at university today
>professor says we'll be using unix, suggests we go download ubuntu but says any unix system is fine

question: is there any distro that would be better for me to use or does it not make any difference for my purposes

>>52509717
No

>>52509717
download crunchbang :^)

>>52509717
since you're 'professor' doesn't really care about using UNIX, then neither should you anon. just use w/e. arch is probably a gud linux distro for such a class. if not that, then FreeBSD.
>>
>>52509984
Arch is not worth setting up and configuring for one class. Unless op is going to use it long term also. I'd say xubuntu

GNU's not UNIX anon, get plan9

Use temple os

>>52510053
This meme has to fucking die. Anybody who can read can install and configure arch within a half hour or less, about the same time if not shorter than windows or other operating systems.

>>52509717
OSX

>>52510212
This is pretty much Systems Programming yeah.
>write a program to count characters in a file
>ascii tables
To be fair it does include Unix system calls and stuff, but really it should be called "C Programming on Unix Systems"
>>
>>52510328
I was hoping for kernel development or writing drivers, but I guess everyone in the CS major at my school is too fucking retarded to handle that shit in an undergrad.
>>
>>52510351
Only like 20 people in the world do that kind of thing. It's a myth.
>>
>>52510351
That stuff belongs in an operating systems course, it's not system programming.
>>
>>52509717
Elementary OS
