I am a software developper working on both Linux and Windows. I'm dealing mostly with C/C++, and working on multiple levels of development (from GUI to device drivers). I'm using Ubuntu on both my dev and personal computers.

comment How can I prevent eyestrain?
Regarding the refresh rate: can you see how much it is on windows (if different)? Also on Windows, are you using some 'polishing' tools like ClearType?

comment Does Visual Studio Express work well with Wine?
I've tried it some times ago, for my job. I had to stop for stability purpose. As TJ Ellis says: it's worth trying again, after some time. But you also should know that, if it works at one point, it may break some times later with a new update... So if you really NEED it to work flowlessly, it may be safer to make it run on its 'real' environment. Personally, I have a Windows VM for that purpose, and it works fine. But of course, your needs may differ from mine.

comment Which package contains the C standard library?
Daniel is right: libc6-amd64 (and its 'dev' version) are usefull only for cross-compiling from i386. Whatever your platform, if you want to build for the same platform, you only need libc6/libc6-dev.

comment Which package contains the C standard library?
build-essential is actually a dummy package, which has dependencies on "all you need to make a build". Very usefull, as you seldom know about all the libraries you'll actually need when building your applications from sources. But overkill if you only need the glibc.

I tend to say "undocumented features" rather than hidden :-)
