Objective-C programming

'allo,

      This might be considered off-topic, but I don't know anywhere else
I should post this to.

      Is it possible to do any useful Objective-C programming, without
GNUstep ?  I'm interested in doing network based programming, maybe some
curses stuff, interact with some databases like PostgreSQL/SQLite, all 
on a Linux/NetBSD system.  Objective-C can make use of existing C 
libraries, yes ?  What advantages do I get from developing on the 
GNUstep platform versus just using the existing C interfaces ?

      I've been lurking on the list for a while, and have been wanting 
to pick up on Objective-C programming as well, just haven't had much time
to do so recently.  My interest has risen even more after doing some 
Smalltalk based development over the last few months.  I know that 
Kochan has a book that might be good for what I want to do.


     Again, this might not be the right place to be asking this, so 
pointers to where I should ask this would be appreciated.


cheers,
