Hehe, acronym clash. I bet you are talking about an Integrated Developement
Environment (like M$ VisualDev on Win32), not the disk controller standard.

And sure, this is the wrong list to ask if you would like to go for linux.

You could try NetBSD though (http://www.netbsd.org), and there is an IDE
available for it (which, btw. also is available for Linux). Unfortunately
you did not specify the language you would like to develop in, so I'm
assuming C/C++ for now:
