You should not generally have to use Linux-specific stuff unless you really want to, and you normally shouldn't want to. I'm sure you know this, but for some applications, POSIX is not really enough. Thus, for example, the need for some portable abstraction libraries like libevent.

Yes, exactly. But at worst you should stuff the nonportability into a library with an API which can be replicated on other platforms (or make that library as portable as possible, and keep it a separate library to keep the ugly away from everyone else.)

That's descriptive anonymity :) Readers usually give higher weight to subscribers opinions here, so this handle honestly states that I'm a promoted guest.

Ah. I interpreted it as 'account bought to promote something else', and got confused because most advertisers would try to lie about it and *not* mention their affiliations :)
'Promotion' is a word with many meanings...
