It is my personal opinion that the binary releases of Bochs are by 
nature ill-suited to run pre-packaged OSes, but personally configured 
and compiled versions can do the job fairly well. Ironically, this 
would require editors and compilers, which is what you are looking for 
Bochs to run. You did not say what systems your student does have 
access to, so I can't make a recommendation as to what you can run on 
it to satisfy your requirement, except to say that you can go to a 
recycler or eBay and pick up a relatively ancient machine cheap and 
install Linux or BSD on it.		-DG
