There shouldn't be much difference between the Linux and Windows stuff
with multithreading; the os specific stuff should be hidden beneath the
interface of the "threading" module.  Do you have any specific questions
about threads?

One thing you should be careful about, though, is that threads don't work
nicely with Tkinter (and especially IDLE) --- so don't try to test your
threading code within IDLE, or else bad things happen.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.
