If you plan on adding to the operating system kernel, you'll probably have to use C, though, unless you know a lot more than I do. The source code for the entire operating system is included. Mess with it as much as you like. > Can we run BSD on server with 10-15 users using TURBO C++ or > Boroland C++? Do you mean you want people to run Borland C++ products (1) on Windows machines connected to a FreeBSD server or (2) on the FreeBSD machine itself? These are different questions. (1) is fine. Your Windows machines don't care what kind of server they're connected to. Go about your business as usual. (2) is silly. Borland makes Windows products to write Windows programs. If that's what you want to do, do it on Windows, not FreeBSD. If they ever port CBuilder to, say, Linux, the story may be different. If you /really/ can't stomach programming in C++ without pointing and clicking in some kind of GUI, there are ways to do this on FreeBSD. > Do we have vi editor in BSD, similar to the one availble under > UNIX? Yes. > If we are to programme in C++, can we use Microsoft C++ ? See answer above for Borland products.
