Linux makes an excelent opportunity of wisdom for progammers. The Open nature of Linux and the majority of applications installed with Linux provides a unique experience for programmer to learn and exchange ideas.

Vim enables syntax highlighting for many languages. and has special C indentation mode that helps detecting misplaced brackets, missing semicolon, and some syntax errors.

Vim eases your programming job. It's very powerful and cusomizable. I personally use version 5.7.

OpenBSD:
- centralized configuration
- easy and very fast to install
- secure
- the feel of UNIX the old way
- stable
- once you get used to it you will really love it use it as your main OS.
- ideal environment for porgrammers.
