Yes, linux is good. But you can't do anything with it for a class.

Source code is universal...

Computer labs are not.

Yes, but for a school class, you don't really get to choose that sort of thing :)

*will be running Linex in '06 unless her dad decides to do the tweek to give it enough HD space while he's up here. Stupid partition magic... *kicks it*

Get Cygwin (the Windows version of Unix) and make sure all the Development packages are installed. (Easiest way to do this: just make sure everything possible is installed. But that slows the install down.)

Then use gcc.
