Stop spamming me! Why are you spamming??? :O
Do you really think I'm justified in saying that you're spamming me? No. I'm not. Same way, I wasn't attacking your favorite distro. I was as polite as possible. Take your accusation a notch down alright? We live in a civilized society and I'm not interested in having flame wars here.
You would find more people inclined to follow your suggestionsif you did not attack other free software in order to promote your favourites.
Attack? Sheesh...firstly, to disillusion you Ubuntu is full of non-free software / proprietary software. I wasn't promoting anything. I suggested Fedora as it comes with all possible software that you need. Debian goes one step further. It has an amazing collection of softwares in its DVD.
Maybe you have large portions of bandwidth to download all possible packages. But I, like the OP, have limited share of bandwidth so its not always possible for us to install softwares from online repos. Fedora / Debian / Mandriva come with CDs / DVDs which have all the softwares so one doesn't need to download from the internet. Its quicker and easier.
Dont mean to displease any Ubuntu users.
Then do not spread lies. At least to the bare minimum ofresearch before spreading FUD; you might retain some respect from people that way.
FUD...?
AFAIK, Ubuntu doesnt come with dev packages.
It comes with mostly the same dev packages, as far as C/C++ areconcerned, that Debian does.
Did I say Ubuntu DOESNT HAVE dev packages? IIRC, its not included on the CD.
Debian standard also does not come with gcc either. It is,again, an optional package.
Dev packages go beyond just C/C++ compilers.
If you are trying to promote some free software (fedora, in yourcase), try not to attack other free software. If you do attack other free software, at least try to be correct.
Next time look up the definition of words that you dont understand.
We're all working towards a common goal over here. We're all for FOSS. Why the heck do we need to divide ourselves on the basis of distros?
