Can't use the Beagle - I need PC/104 for this.

I'm not very familiar with cross-platform development (except for the miserable 
experiences I've had with it developing for VxWorks). TS doesn't seem to offer 
Eclipse for the TS-7200, so how do I go about getting and setting up Eclipse to 
run on Windows, such that it will build for a TS-7250 (Linux 2.4) and, ideally, 
let me debug remotely on the TS7200? I can probably live with a virtual Linux 
environment; can someone point me to one, ideally free or low cost? As long as 
it stays in a window and lets me keep instant access to my vast array of 
Windows tools and gadgets. :-) Basically I'm looking for someone to say "I got 
my virtual environment here, and eclipse for TS development there, and I use 
them daily to write code for a TS-7250 and it all just works."

I sense I'm going to have a LOT of questions.

As a rambling side note, I'm a great fan of Linux system calls and unix 
programming in general, it's the user interface I can't stand. I don't like 
stumbling around in csh, trying to remember commands. Part of the problem is 
that I've been exposed to too many different flavors of unix over too many 
years and they are all just slightly different; I can't tell you how much it 
sucks to do have do a man ps every time you want to fiddle with ps's options; 
is it ps -a? ps -lef? ps -q? And part of it is my fingers know how to do 
everything on Windows and I just never got the hang of Gnome or the 
equivalents. And part of it is that my idea of installing an OS (or anything 
else) is putting a CD in and clicking install, or clicking on a link. I'm a 
huge fan of things that "just work". Last time I tried to install a unix OS I 
ended up in a twisty little maze of config files and apt-gets and incompatible 
hardware and oh-I-think-Joe-wrote-a-driver-for-that-tell-him-Mikey-sent-you... 
no. Life is too short to get repeatedly dragged down dark alleys and mugged by 
incomprehensible command line apps fetched from strange little websites, that 
need 7 different arguments and which, if mistyped, will brick your box. Not 
when you finally end up with a box that doesn't talk to device Z and only lets 
you use Y if you first sudo autofraggle -z -q7 /dev/weirdThing3.... No. I won't 
go back, do you hear me? I can't! I won't!
