Can I start installing boost libraries, ACE framework and use it as my home Linux server?

A:
The G++ on Cygwin is very similar to that on any other platform. You should be able to use it with Boost if you can't find the Boost libraries you want pre-compiled for Cygwin.
However, Cygwin is not Linux; you won't be able to use it as your 'home Linux server'. Cygwin gives a Linux-like interface to Windows, but it is still running on Windows, not Linux.

The Boost libraries are available through Cygwin's installer.
