If you are doing this for a course and are comfortable in Ubuntu then skip the install and use XubunTOS. You can use the XubunTOS Live CD or the XubunTOS VMware image. Both of these are working development environments.
The VMware way to do things would allow you to continue using Windows full time while developing in a the VMware instance. And XubunTOS is a tested development environment where you can focus on writing code instead of installing packages. You can find all the information you could possibly need to go this way here: http://toilers.mines.edu/Public/XubunTOS http://5secondfuse.com/tinyos/install.html http://sing.stanford.edu/klueska/running_xubuntos_vm.html We have had several classes of students use XubunTOS and they all say it saved them a ton of time.
