I have a question thats been bugging me for weeks. Was linux developed in any particular programming language or is it a whole bunch of languages? I was watching a television program today and found out that someone wrote a DVD decoding program for linux (and got in deep sh*t), and i was wondering how that was done (what language).

Actually, the C language was originally developed to create linux, so yes, when it was originally developed it was all done in C.
