FYI, the compiler suite runs just fine under Linux. When I did it, I installed WindRiver under XP, and learned how it worked. I highly recommend learning how the basics work under XP first. I then figured out that I could go get a trial version of the linux version of WindRiver, and install that. I then copied over my XP key for WindRiver to the correct place under Linux, and also one or two of the config files that it complained it couldn't find (the cRio isn't a standard target). Some other hacking might be required. 971 wrote the code for the robot this year entirely from under Linux and compiled and downloaded using Makefiles.
