DJGPP should in your path *before* MSVC !
Otherwise, it's not GNU make that will be runned, but MS make, and MS
make can't take long commands (>128 chars).

Well, except for framebuffer, I already have that on my new 486 machine,
where I installed Debian from the base floppy installation. The only thing
you have to do apart from installing Debian is uncompressing Allegro and
compiling it. Do you need a specific distribution for just that detail?

Also, one of the strengths and weaknesses of Linux is that programmers
tend to customize a lot their environment, I don't think there's a chance
50% of the people here would like what you suggested. Everybody wants it's
customization, and 'minimal' features tend to be things like "graphic
environment" and such, where you open another can of worms...
