I am just starting a project in DJGPP (A PIC17C75XX programmer), which
I want to be able to port to Linux at a later stage. It will use a 
colour text interface, possibly the mouse, and will need to access the 
serial port directly (to communicate with the device programmer).
The problem is that I have no experience of Linux programming 
whatsoever, and so I need some advice on exactly what I should do/avoid 
doing, to make the job of porting the program to Linux as painless as 
possible. I particularly would like to know how you set up/access the 
serial port in Linux, and whether it's possible to do direct console io 
(gotoxy(), intensevideo(), that type of thing).
Does anyone know of any 'beginners guide to Linux programming' or 'DOS 
programmers guide to Linux programming' type of document available 
online?

Thanks, Alex.
