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...

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);
