Ah, GNU tools. I haven't used them yet. > What are the softwares required. > 1) Best suited linux Server for this purpose. > 2) best suited windows client. NRCFOSS's centre (VJTI lab in Matunga) is running Debian GNU/Linux.

Is it necessary to run on Windows clients? Is it possible to install a popular distribution such as Ubuntu Linux or Fedora 7 and run GCC on clients? I think, GVIM and DDD would be available for these distributions. This helps in two folds: 1. They are introduced to a new Operating System and understand, how to compile and execute program under any GNU/Linux. 2. If they want to practise at home, they can copy the OS's ISO, share it among friends, install it on their home computers and be safe from unauthorized copy of software that they might be using (or end up using). If I can, and if required, I can help to setup computers dual boot Windows and Ubuntu on client machines, preferably on a Sunday. I don't know anything about the server setup. Other members on the list can help you out. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
