OK, guilty, but I wanted a varied response, as different people subscribe to different lists.
If you are asking the same question, common sense would say to CC the lists that you know of.
- Please stay on topic. This has nothing to do with Fedora.
Fedora is GNU/Linux, there are C programmers, like you that use Fedora, and it is a general discussion list. What's the problem? I'm not asking for money for for you to join some crazy scheme.
This kind of attitude annoys me about GNU/Linux, I am not wasting anyones time, so I don't see what the problem is."
In many mailing lists some individuals assume the role of guardians or moderators of discussions, even though the lists are open. I think your question is legitimate to any Linux related mailing list. Attitudes like his are best ignored, these individuals are usually very close minded and seldom have anything to contribute. As for your question, I would visit your local bookstore chain, there are a number of Linux-related C and C++ programming books. If you have more specific questions about C programming, there is a mailing list: http://lists.linux.org.au/listinfo/linuxcprogramming Keep asking questions. -- Rafael
