I would have chosen Debian instead of Ubuntu and something like Red Hat 
or CentOS instead of Fedora. The reason for this is that they're older 
and more likely to work on more systems.

Have you verified that you can compile for 32bit on all of these 
systems. I tried PC-BSD (based on FreeBSD) and it had problems compiling 
32bit. It can actually correctly generate code but the header files 
can't handle both 32 and 64bit. That means you can compile D code for 
32bit but not C++.

I'm wondering if you can use Wine or ReactOS. But if would be preferred 
to use real Windows.
