Hello, Dennis.

First of all: Allegro is available for Linux. Check out
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk (Shawn's homepage) for more.

You're likely to need to learn about Linux-only things, such as pipes
and semaphores. Remember Linux uses threads.

Be more stringent with memory-checking, especially allocating and
freeing.

http://www.linuxdoc.org has some info (HOWTOs, etc.) and there are very
useful items there. Check it out.

Bye,
