With Madriva 10.2 you should be fine. It uses MySQL 4.1 and gcc 3.4 You just have to find the equivalents to the Fedora RPMs needed and install them. If thee are compile errors snap&paste me the error messages. I'll have a look into it then.
Yes, Linux is free and imho as good or better as Windows for most things.
But in the hands of someone who is careless or doesnt want to think things through it can be also a recipe for dissaster. There are virtually no "Do you really want to do that?" saveguards when you are root.

Once upon an time in an Unix Adminstration course with ten students.
Instructor: And if you want to read mail really fast type rm -rf /*
Nine out of ten students are laughting, one of then had to reinstall his Notebook.
