I've taken programming classes and learned the hard way that the only way to
ensure that my software worked correctly on the teacher's machine was to
have a matching development environment. In practice, this can be very
expensive and/or time consuming to achieve. Fortunately, matching the Linux
distribution make, model, and version was sufficient.
Now there are more options -- notably, virtual machines. I suggest that you
ask your instructor to pick a free VMware Linux virtual appliance and that
the teacher and students all use that:
