the DOS conio functions are not ANSI standard and are not available on
linux. Well, half-true. you can get a source compatible library
(libconio?) that uses the same functions etc. Otherwise look at ncurses
for screen handling.

GCC is ANSI compliant. It is not Linux's particular compiler. As long as
you learn good ANSI and POSIX C, you'll be allright.
