I believe gcc has been included as a standard in almost every Linux
distribution for many years now. You may already have it on your system
or on your CD and not know it.

I believe GCC has also been ported to Windows by the GNUWin32 Project so
all of the Unix-user-wannabes can use it also.

However, there are some popular 'tiny' distros that do *not* include it:
e.g. Damn Small Linux, Feather Linux. So if you need to compile drivers for
your WinModem you may need gcc.

There are at least 3 ports of GCC that work on Windows:

CygWin
<http://cygwin.com/>
(partial) linux API compatible programming

MinGW
<http://mingw.org/>
for native Windows Win32 API programming

DJGPP
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/>
for DOS 32-bits programming

No. Cygwin strives for POSIX.1 compliance. That's as different from
Linux as a Volvo to a Yugo. Linux is a Minix clone; Minis ain't Unix.

You forgot to mention RXSNT.
