	If this helps: I have been able to build OsKit in every POSIX compliant 
operating system that I've used: Slackware, Redhat, and Mandrake Linux, and 
FreeBSD.  I always keep my make, binutils, and gcc compilers up to date.  I 
find that Linux Mandrake (8.0) is the best for this because the software 
manager (in KDE & Gnome) allows you to keep up to date without having to 
worry about annoying installations of compilers!
	I have tried to build oskit in cygwin (... for Windows I think that's how 
it's spelled), but have found that difficult.
	I'm also pretty sure (am planning on using it, but have not had time to 
setup a workstation) that oskit will compile under Solaris UNIX 8.

I'm not sure what the "prefered" environment is exactly... but I have ALWAYS 
been successful with these operating systems.  I believe that Linux-Mandrake 
8.0 is the best at the moment for my needs... I'm sure there are plenty who 
disagree, but it works for me.
