Yes. Even a 386/16 with 640k of RAM and a 5 MB hard disk is enough.

You need what the zip-picker tells you you need.

If you write programs that don't depend on things different between
dos and Linux, yes.

What does 640x480 have to do with it? If you mean "is there a single
GUI toolkit that runs on djgpp, win32, and Linux" then yes, there are
a few, but you'll have to look around for one that you're comfortable
with and that meets your needs.

You may want to use Cygwin instead of DJGPP (http://www.cygwin.com/)
If you're interested in networking *and* Windows guis. Cygwin handles
the native Win32 APIs much better than DJGPP does. Otherwise, there
are networking (libsocket or wattcp) and GUI (allegro) libraries for
DJGPP.
> 6) If I use Watt-32 under Dos, ist there an equivalent under Linux ?
"gcc" is the Linux compiler.
