I hope that you find your real problems but these problems and workarounds are a glaring exception, not the rule. We can't be leading other students down this path. What are you going to do at a competition?
We had 5 student programmers (2 with zero experience) install development environments on their own machines (with no help from me) and one of them (mine) is running Linux for development. We have had no problems. All things work as advertised. Admittedly, I've been doing this for 30+ years and I teach others (in corporate settings) about operating systems including VxWorks and embedded Linux. But we've had no unusual issues.
So for teams out there experiencing problems, follow the lead of the consensus of experienced mentors on CD. The problems and solutions described in this thread are an unfortunate anomaly.
