[Tfug] Just starting - need help

[Joe Blais]

Hello -

I guess that depends on how slow I've gotten ---
I hope (my boss hopes) not much.

I need to get the development system going for now.  I just don't know
enough about Linux to say how much that will take.  I need to get to the
point where I can develop code, compile it, and get it running.  We are also
putting a touch panel (we have a driver from the supplier) on the instrument
we're building, so I'm sure that may take some doing as well.

?

Joe
