P.S. if anyone's bored enough, you can check out what we're up to at
https://github.com/srphtygr/dhb. I'm trying to get my 11yo kid to
spend a little time programming rather than just playing video games
when he's near a computer. He'a actually getting through this stuff
and is honestly interested when he understands it and sees it work --
and he even spotted a bug before me this afternoon! Feel free to
raise issues, pull requests, etc. if you like -- I'm putting him
through the git committing and pair programming paces, so outside
interaction would be kinda fun :)
P.P.S. We're actually using 2.11bsd after all..
I'm curious, will gcc on a modern Linux system compile K&R c?
Maybe when I get a little time, I might try to see if I can compile it
on a modern Fedora 21 system with gcc.
BTW: Great job introducing him to such a classic environment. A few
years ago, my now 18 year old had expressed some interest in graphics
programming and was in awe over an SGI O2 I had at the time, so I got
him an Indy. He played around with a bit of programming, but
unfortunately, he lost interest.
