using Linux instead of UNIX to compile c code for CS course -


a cs course i'm taking online suggests students compile source code , run tools valgrind on os unix. i'm new unix, linux, tools, , coding in c. i've made attempts @ installing freebsd 8.1 on vmware player 3.1.3, , managed vmware tools running. freebsd documentation has led me down many dead-ends in accomplishing common tasks i.e. mounting nfs or usb device. turns out packages need make happen aren't installed or configured, , don't see straight answer on how install them.

so, if i'm using unix tool run gcc, g++, valgrind cs course, , these can run on linux instead, seems can job done faster using ubuntu linux.

can linux used compile , run c code identically on unix, if compiled on linux? or if not, differences for?

thanks

for novice-level c programmer such op, difference of environment negligible. go ahead linux.
