Linux distro for devs?

(1/8) > >>

MortenMacFly:
Dear all,
I'm looking for a linux distribution (best would be a live-cd) that ships with the most important development tools - thus at least gcc/g++ and wxGTK (2.6.x). I don't have massive space so if there is a distro which is especially designed for this purpose I'd like to know. It doesn't need a fancy desktop but it should be able to run C::B. And if I can simply boot into this system without installation - great!!!
With regards, Morten.

My favorite when I'm on Windows is andLinux. Basically it's Ubuntu Edgy + coLinux.
It's like you would use in Windows VMware/VirtualPC/Parallels to boot Linux, only that it's native, not emulated (it's really fast). :)

To get it running, download andLinux PreBeta (190MB) from here and then install it simply run the file run_to_install.bat.
And to run it, startup.bat. If you have any issue, be sure to read this.

Here's a C::B running on Ubuntu Edgy and Windows XP at the same time,


Perfect for cross-platform development. :D

Yes, that would be quite what I'm looking for. I know coLinux but did never get the network to run but I saw that there were a couple of updates, too. Will try that for sure. Thanks! :D
With regards, Morten.

Right... this was a good shot. I didn't get it to work at work, but here at home this is quite impressive. I'm currently compiling SVN in a Linux shell under Windows. With real *great* speed!
That's pretty cool... so I just can forget about another Linux partition (I wouldn't have had space enough for that anyway...).
With regards, Morten.
