Here's some links that may prove useful for that (although I don't
really grok any of it, just trying to help):

I am no Linux pro (by far), but I hear good things about Slackware. Of
course, since 2.6 kernels don't support UMSDOS, you're stuck to "old"
ZipSlack 11 (2.4.x) if you want to run Linux atop FreeDOS / FAT. But
that's fairly recent (2006), so that wouldn't kill ya (although FAT32
is highly recommended). Otherwise, you have a billion other distros to
choose from. (DeLi has an external DOSEMU package and is fairly
lightweight.)

Well, FreeDOS doesn't have the NT bugs, obviously, but 2.03p2 does
indeed lack a few things (stdint.h, vsnprintf, etc.) as well as a few
utils that /beta/ has (e.g., GNU make 3.81). So you may run into a few
rare issues depending on what you want to build.

Having never used Intellisense, I can't say for sure what the 100%
exact same is for DOS or *nix. But VIM 7's Omnicomplete or GNU Emacs /
JED's "dabbrev" would probably be better than nothing. My notes say
that SETEDIT has word completion, so RHIDE probably does too. And
Exuberant Ctags supports at least all of the following:  VIM, VILE,
SETEDIT, JED, Mined, GNU Emacs, FTE.
