the dragon book is about designing compilers, and i haven't really delved into that since uni. millions of people know C, i figure, but those who seriously grok the contents of the dragon book brings you down to the tens of thousands. as such, it's really just an interesting book to own and it has a pretty cover. $10 plus ship
my first language was C. i rarely use C/C++ personally or professionally these days, but any time i do, my brain is right back into it after a week or two on the job. k&r is sort of the sun tzu's art of war for the C. it's ancient + simplistic but still deep... and i actually pull it off the shelf sometimes.
i mostly use PHP, these days. not because PHP is particularly good, but because i use it so often i don't have to go look up function names and crap sixteen times an hour. perl too, a bit. perl has a hell of a history, a lot of wacky fun libraries. it still feels more natural to me to write spiderbots in LWP despite barely remembering how to read a file, and the syntax being only slightly prettier than bill the cat's ooP ACK routine
at this point, i imagine my post has you screaming with boredom. it's like when i start rambling about what hardware is really, truly capable of doing a good 303 noise, and the people on the linux message boards have no idea what i'm talking about

enjoyed the posts
k&r has a lot of examples for manipulating text i have an idea for a simple html page that gets manipulated by c programs at time intervals throughout the day
it could make text files come alive every time you hit refresh the page looks different

unix is a lot like a modular synth. it's hundreds of little things blending together as a group in order to function as a singular thing, much as a modular has VCOs and envelopes and LFOs. it's very frustrating and erratic at first, but after enough time at it, you're in the flow of things, and coming up with ideas to triple-purpose xargs in the shower

i guess my point was, both serge and buchla are top-tier modular flavors, and you can do great stuff with either. i can't just tell you "this one is the best" because it's really a personal preference thing. something that emerges after you develop a personal relationship with the beast. some are crap, and i can steer you away from those, but freebsd is not crap. i like arch linux myself, but if you like freebsd, then stick with that.
i should note, i actually have been chewing on this to proper neckbeard levels. first i doubt myself: "would have been more accurate to go with linux : banana :: bsd : phonejack??" then i say no, motm has this hippie california feel that really syncs up with BSD, and linux is rather european
