Have you ever tried legOS? First, if you are running legOS from Linux, you
don't need cygwin and that kind of things. They are only needed to resemble
a UNIX enviroment under DOS. And the UNIX system is needed by the GNU
compiler.
You _never_ need the source code for gcc or cygwin, but you need the h8 gnu
toolchain anyway because you have to compile your user programs. Compiling
the legOS kernel is a proof that you correctly installed your toolchain and
the supporting programs. So I don't see a need for a ready compiled legOS
kernel.
Running generic h8 compiled programs on the brick is the fastest possible
way to run a program. The benefits in terms of speed a gigantic. But it is
not usefull for a new-to-c-programming user. LegOS is mindstorms swiss army
knife. Very usefull if you can handle it but it can cut ;).
By the way, I use legOS together with kate, the KDE editor and a makefile.
One can start the make process from inside kate, even download to the RCX.
This comes close to a full featured legOS GUI.
Regards,
Michael

It really WOULD be nice if someone created a simplified way of getting up and running for legOS, even if it didn't actually contain a GUI interface for programming (though I by no means would discourage someone from providing THAT as well!) or (...)
