Assume that FC4 does work on the PC (I have some doubt -- The truth is
that modern Linux requires a modern PC. FC4 is probably more resource
hungry than Windows XP), you can try to install the following application.

http://www.gnupic.org is your friend if you want to develop PIC under Linux.
 And you'd better subscribe to GNUPIC mailing list.

1) gputils: gpasm/gplink and some more tools.
http://gputils.sourceforge.net/

2) gpsim
http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim.html

3) sdcc: c compiler in case if you want to learn c as well.
http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/

4) IDE: pikdev or piklab
http://pikdev.free.fr/
http://piklab.sourceforge.net/

5) xwsip2 since you have Wisp628.

In case that your PC can not run X at all, then you can still run 1/3/5
under the console. gpsim also has a console interface.
