To get a version of Linux that will run on my hardware, not in a VM, which
works fine.

I am running GCC on the SuSE 11 in the VM. Using MSVC as my C library.

I can't build Linux on my "hardware", I want to build it on the "hardware"
in the case, in Windows, since I can't get Linux on my hardware. So if I
want to make linux for my hardware, I need a full version of Linux to build
another full version of Linux. Not just some half built version like msys,
cygwin, or intrerix, that all are half baked gnu environments, that aren't
made to be used like a full distro that you can build in/on.
I'd not trust them for enough utilities or 64bit capabilities to compile a
new distro of Linux that will run on my hardware.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
