Hi,
If you don't need any off the shelf comercial software, you should
definitely check out linux, a free unix clone which is mostly posix
compliant. It supports emacs,gcc,g++, and almost every other GNU
utility. It even has tcp/ip, and X-windows support.
It's available by anonymous ftp from tsx-11.mit.edu (18.172.1.2)
as well as many other sites. Let me know if you need more info.
