I've been meaning to learn some assembly for a while, but never quite knew where to start. Then I found this handy guide to writing "Hello, World" in assembly on Linux. Just install nasm and follow the instructions here and you're good to go.
gcc -nostdlib hello.S -o hello
Oh, interesting. I didn't know you could do that with gcc. Thanks for the tip!
This example uses the old 32-bit syscall invocation mechanism, which works fine under 64-bit Linux. It might be a useful exercise to try porting this program to the 64-bit syscall convention.
I wasn't familiar with the difference, but some googling turned up this SO discussion which seems relevant. Maybe I will try making the change and see if I can get this to run with pure 64 bit code.

Ah, that is very handy, and very illustrative. Thanks for sharing!
