Watcom has a nice compiler which runs on a Windows box. gcc is the standard for Linux.

if you do not want to move platforms, then use the dev-C++, otherwise, I suggest that you use Linux... Mandrake is a nice easy system to use, as is fedora core 4.

I personally used Bloodshed's Dev-C++ compiler. Worked well for me.
