Ubuntu is currently the best linux distribution after Mandriva and OpenSuse. It is suited for users new to linux, and are thinking of migrating from windows to linux.

Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months thereby you are always updated to the latest softwares, better driver support etc. And it comes pre-installed with the basic softwares required for internet browsing, watching movies, listening to music etc...

The link below is very useful to get you started with ubuntu.

Yeah I agree with vijayan. File pointers like seekg(),tellg() work correctly only with Binary Files where the read() and write() functions are used.

Can't you instead use gets() function?

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{
  char name[25];
  cout<<"Enter the name of the customer: ";
  gets(name);
  cout<<name;
}

gets(name); inputs the name with all the blanks and everything.Thats the difference between cin and gets.
