Excellent, coLinux offers more than I've could hoped =)
Now I "only" need to find an university professor to sponsor this

Once that step is done, I guess I need to install windows and try to
get a working build environment ;)

As long as there are updates from time to time, it shouldn't matter that much.

Thanks again, Clemens
