I need to buy a book on C or C++ to help me in FreeBSD. Which would be =
better to buy?

I first thought a book on C would be best, because the OS is written in =
C. But, now I'm not sure because I read that gcc can compile C++ too =
(so, I'm assuming C++ must get used too).

Does it even matter?

Suggestions?
