Yes, absolutely. Going down the cygwin path is doable, but it is a
path of pain. I strongly recommend using a Linux host. (I personally
use Ubuntu, but you should have good success with any disto. Use what
you're most comfortable with).
The simplest approach to get running with a Linux box is to install
either VirtualBox or VMware and create yourself a Linux virtual
machine. That will get you up and running without having to obtain
new hardware or risk breaking your XP setup.
Cheers,
