In my institute we are learning "systems programming and "network programming" on fedora. There we use terminal and in vi editor we write programs and execute them. At home i wish to install mandriva 2010. Will it be ok for me to do same stuff that i do on fedora , here on mandriva?
thanks

Yes, any flavor should be ok.
For system programming, you need Gnu tool chain, gcc, kernel dev tools, kernel sources. you might do network programming in perl or python. As long as these tools are installed, any flavor should be fine.
Yes as long as you use the same shell for editing, e.g. if you write in a bash shell at the institute then do the same at home. You can tell by echo $0 I believe.
