Also, since there is no conio.h in Linux, quit using clrscr and getch functions.

As you wish.

Give a code sample to help with.

use gcc in terminal.
cc filename.c
./a.out
Why going for IDEs when you are a newbie?
Use terminal and vi editor ......

Before that, if you are using Ubuntu, then install build-essentials package by doing-

sudo apt-get install build-essentials

Then you can write your code in vi / gedit / kete as

vi filename.c
gedit filename.c
kete filename.c

After that, you can compile file using-

gcc filename.c -o filename

And now run by -

./filename

Hope, this will help.

To clear the screen in linux, use system calls :

#include<unistd.h>
           system("clear"); //inside any function

You do know that DOS's clear and Linux's clear commands are very different? It might lead to issues based on what one's intending to do. If you want a proper window-like console system, go for ncurses.

that depends on the programmers intension dude

 

[QwertyManiac]

Didn't I use the word if? And to use system("clear") is wrong, you may try it out yourself. It would not work as expected on most terminal emulators of Linux.

I think it sucks pretty much that much of new programmers are trained in anything but Turbo C++.
And to add to that, they are made to use, clrscr(); gets() and void main().
Duh...
And a new programmer doesn't even understand.

@OP:
Look here but some tips:

@qwerty
if it is a problem in other emulators ok ....agreed but i really didn't find any problem with it in my tried distros list.
Have you tried Fedora Eclipse or NetBeans 6.1?
