Re:Linux x86 assembly?

On: Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language

The x86 assembly is written the "wrong way", and is pretty confusing at times. Where I would say "move.l 4,a6" on the 68k, I have to say "mov dx,4" on the x86. Takes a few minutes to adjust each time.

I agree. I've always though of intel assembly as a kind of "reverse polish notation"... everything seems backwards.
