[...] Ankur Sethi has done a brilliant blog post on the differences between compiler, C++, Turbo C, IDE (and if you are sane enough to be interested) GCC and Dev C++. Ankur has explained all of it very clearly, so I won’t reinvent the wheel. I strongly recommend that you go through his post. [...]

I am amazed to read about Ankit Fadia in your blog. Before that I thought I was only one who is used to say ill of him… great, terrific words used for him.
PS: If hacking can be done in ethical way, then it will never be called hacking. And yeah correct difference b/w ‘Cracking’ and ‘Hacking’ is mentioned. Something I really want to teach most of guys.

Another common mistake is calling GNU/Linux as Linux. Linux is the Kernel. GNU is the operating system. Redhat GNU/Linux, Fedora GNU/Linux, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Debain GNU/Linux, are all “Distribitions” that package together the GNU operating system, the Linux kernel, with other softwares and customizations to make installation and maintainance of GNU and Linux easy.

In fact, GNU can also be used with other Kernels like the HURD. Actually, the original kernel that was meant to be used with GNU was Hurd(which in turn uses the microkernel Mach). But development was slow, and Linus Torvalds Implemented his kernel Linux which was stable, and so got adopted by the community at large as the Kernel of choice. The Debian team has actually worked on a Debian GNU/HURD distribution.

Another of your problem-with-Indian-CS-teaching post. Its true but, lets move on. The only people reading this are those who already know about this and can’t do anything about it.

I’m thinking of approaching the guys at IPU. Problem is, most of them don’t use the Internet, and I suspect they even have email addresses. I’ll either have to go to Kashmere Gate and meet them in person – quite a challenge.
