You are correct, Lindows doesn't come with a compiler. But using
Click-N-Run, you can download ALL the developer tools with a single
mouseClick().

Of course, Lindows trys to put all the available Linux Apps it knows about
on the Click-N-Run servers. If you don't want to use Click-N-Run, then you
need to:

1) use apt-get (free) to download and install apps or;
2) compile apps from source code yourself (not for the beginner)

best,

Chipp
