Yes. Linux does support threads, via various libraries.
The one I've been playing around with is called linuxthreads, and is
available somewhere (if you are interested in threads, I'm certain you can
locate it ;-) ).
The C libraries are, as far as I remember, not quite safe. glibc, GNU's
implementation of the C library, is thread-safe, though.
This last sentence is based on very bad memory. Don't trust on it. I
probably shouldn't have written it as is...
Threads are fun, anyway.
