[ale] C on Linux

[Master Wizard]

I am ready to start learning more about Linux and want to get into C on 
Linux. I have several books on C and C++, but they gloss over any 
platform specifics. I have a passing familiarity with vi and have looked 
at emacs. I have also looked at some X based IDE's.

I would like to stay away from X as many of my systems are built on 
older (486 and P1) hardware and X does not run well. I think emacs might 
be the best choice, but I need to find some help with setting up and 
using it for programming with C. Things like compiling, linking and 
testing from emacs. Syntax highlighting, command completaion or anything 
else it supports.

Any good books, websites or other resources for this type of information?

I have programmed with basic, C, Pascal and perl before and currently do 
Java professionally. I am looking to expand my skills and need help with 
the environment specifically, not programming in general.

Thanks,
Ed.
