As far as the mail end of things is concerned, I agree (having recently

Yep.  (Linux, which the original post mentioned, is a Unix system, BTW.)

However, if you're faced with the task of programming a PBM game and
you've no programming experience, I'd recommend Visual Basic as the
language, simply because it's so much easier to learn than anything
else, and there are a lot of good introductory textbooks on it.

(As a bonus, it's very widely used, so knowledge of it is a marketable
skill.)
