Did you ever wrote some part of your Linux program on Assembler, and if you did
so, what was your Assembler (if not assembler in line)? Your idea about best
Assembler to choose for Linux.

I am asking you this because I expect to start writing for Linux. At least, as
soon as I will be able to buy my next computer for using it with this system.
Lunix will probably grow immensely in the future. Its open code is the reason
for expected success.
