I agree with Steven -- let's move directly to C, then C++, then Fortran 95.
C will be a subset of C++, and Fortran is a slight fork (but very similar
to) from C (syntactically speaking).

Sounds good.

I'm not certain what you mean here. When I think of "distributed", I think
of an application like address@hidden, where work is shared across a loose
network of heterogenous machines. The OpenMP model is vetry much based on
"threads" (however a given system defines those) running in a shared-memory,
multiple processor environment.
