    I am a newbie here and also to c++.
    I am working on linux,with programming mainly on C and areas of interest being Firewall & IPS.
    I have some doubts,would be really grateful if anyone can help me.

    2. "Can we prepare a kernel module in C++ on linux ?"
    3. What are the applications of C++ on linux?

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. Writing C++ programs. It's not much use for anything else.

    This is all "competent programmer" stuff though. I suggest you learn programming before you start trying to create firewalls, kernel modules and other large projects. If this were a mechanic course you'd just have got the hang of a screwdriver and now wanted to build the International Space Station.
