There is much better news than that! A fully working Slackware linux system is avalible from all of the slackware 3.6 distribution sites (www.slackware.com to find one), on the site, you will find a release called "zipslack" wich is a fully functional linux system designed to fit on a 100MB zip disk. The good news is that it works on a hard disk almost straight out fo the packet, with a tcp/ip stack, gcc and ALL updated libraries, it is literally unzip it, fire it up and code to your hearts content and it compiles (assuming perfect code) straight out of the box.
