Hi Salvaesswaran Srinivasan,
Some of my friends are doing their project in microcontrollers, and
use Fedora on the development system.
Data transmission on parallel ports is working, and they need to
interface the microcontroller with the PC now.

I hope you are talking about how to communicate between pc an
microcontroller, if you could explain us the project (big picture), we
might be in a position to help. Getting the input from computer What do you
want the microcontroller to do ? Is there any specific reason that you
opted for parallel port over serial.
I don't have any prior experience interfacing microcontrollers to PCs,so
kindly provide pointers to accomplish this task.
Arduino is a open source board ( www.arduino.cc ) is a elegant inexpensive
device(Rs 700/-) with which we can do wonders.It is a good start for
beginners to hang on with this board.
The following is a link where the arduino is connect to several piezo
transducers and computer . When you hit on a piezo transducer the signal is
taken to the computer and a sound is generated. Something drums sivamani
will love it ;). This is just a example, have a look at it at
