Linux is a full blown Operating System, available with full source code. A
good place to start is http://www.linux.org
While legOS is built using the same tools that are used to build Linux (GNU
compiler and tools, etc.), I don't believe that you need to use Linux to
build legOS programs.
There was a post not too long ago, about an "updated Win32 toolchain". This
should contain all of the stuff that you need to create legOS applications
under Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT).
The link to the article is

I haven't yet used legOS myself, but plan on using at some point in the
future. I want to build a fuzzy logic inference engine, and RIS isn't
powerful enough to do this.

Here is a silly question, but you guys are the right ones to answer
it...
compliment I think :)
I need to find a "What the hell is Linux" webpage. I _think_ it is a OS
that is user developed, and is common on UNIX systems. I run windows 98
and
want/need to explore setting up some sort of emulator or Linux OS
capabilities on my machine. I have done some searches, but come up with
a
lot of fodder. I am hoping some one has done what I want to do, and
still
has the book marks they used. Any help is very appreciated. What works
best for me is some simple directions to webpages (where I can explore
on my
own). Some short words of what Linux is would help too. I don't want
to
bog this newsgroup with Linux questions and help, but I know a lot of
people
here are familiar with this OS, and it is somewhat related to LegOS.
Thanks
LINC
