One thing I've always found is that NT gets in the way of creating
bootdisks with Slackware, and I imagine RedHat's the same way.
NT (AFAIK) doesn't allow programs, especially DOS software, to
get at the hardware the way RAWRITE needs to. (Someone shoot me
if I've got it all wrong.)

I liked "Teach yourself C in 21 days", because I didn't know much about
programming before learning C, except for some BASIC and Pascal. It's very
