Ubuntus not aimed at devs so the inherent deficiency.
This is not true. The default install might not install gcc, but the packages are one aptitude install away.
Why not try out Fedora instead? Its a great package.
You would find more people inclined to follow your suggestions if you did not attack other free software in order to promote your favourites.
Dont mean to displease any Ubuntu users.
Then do not spread lies. At least to the bare minimum of research before spreading FUD; you might retain some respect from people that way.
AFAIK, Ubuntu doesnt come with dev packages.
It comes with mostly the same dev packages, as far as C/C++ are concerned, that Debian does.
As Roshan experienced,one must download them from the right repos which isn't the case with Debian, Fedora, Slackware, Mandriva or the likes.
Debian standard also does not come with gcc either. It is, again, an optional package.
If you are trying to promote some free software (fedora, in your case), try not to attack other free software. If you do attack other free software, at least try to be correct.
