| Aug 1, 2011 at 0:06 | comment | added | Thomas Owens♦ | What type of development are you doing? For high level programming, knowing the basic commands on the terminal would be a huge plus, along with perhaps knowing one of the major text editors (vi, emacs). For lower level programming, you need to know more about system calls, system-specific header files, and how threading is handled on a system level. For example, cross-platform C++ has a lot of nuances - I have a system now that compiles on all major OSes except for Solaris. | |
