You can always download a copy of AberMUD, the system Alan wrote many
moons ago, just do a quick search for it, its pretty famous.

Yes you do, they come as part of every distribution, there will be a C
and C++ compiler, plus loads of other languages if you installed the
packages.

To test if you have the C compiler installed, just type 'cc' in a
command prompt. If it says something like 'cc: no input files' then you
have a standard C compiler installed. ditto typing 'c++'
