The first programming language I learned was BASIC and then I learned 
Fortran.  So, as you can well appreciate, Fortran was a great improvement!

I first programmed in machine language, not even an assembler, that was on 
my KIM-1 in 1979 with 1K of RAM.  Two years later when I got a better 
computer, complete with BASIC in ROM, I used it for some quick things, but 
I couldn't see the point generally.

At the time, lots of articles said "learn BASIC first, it's easy".  Which 
of course made other languages seem difficult for many.

Not actually. :)
Though I admit I went from basic to fortran. I still recall with very little 
fondness the fortran message ...

There are at least 00001 errors in this program.

Yep, that, and a line number was as helpful as it got. Basic was easier 
because it died where the error was. Not fortran. :)

I'd rather program in assembler than fortran ... but mileages vary. :)

Install gcc (the GNU C compiler) from your distribution's archive (this
is where you should get any software you need).  It will compile FORTRAN
and assemble assembler.

BTW Tails is obscure, highly-specialized, and in an early stage of
development.  Not a good choice for a beginner.

gcc is a C compiler.  It is part of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).  The 
collection includes C, C++, Fortran, Ada, Java, Objective C, and one or 
two other languages.  Most Linux distributions include C and C++ as 
standard and the remainder have to downloaded.  One thing which can be 
said for the Slackware distribution of Linux is it included all the GCC 
languages in it's development folder which is located on (CD) disk 2 of 
the distribution.  Under the hood in the GCC, all the other languages 
are written in C.  Thus gcc is the root for the other languages and is 
the reason it is part of most standard Linux distributions.

Now you tell me :-).  Boxes of five DVD's are available locally for 
3.something pounds (Verbatim, too, which I think is a reliable brand), 
so I'll try various things as suggested throughout the thread.  E'en now 
Fedora is downloading.
