| Is anyone aware of a disto with a bunch of preloaded programming
| tools? I keep searching Google but I can't seem to find a distro that
| fits my needs out of the box. This is what I am looking for.
|
| 1. Something that I can play with on a live CD first would be preferred
| 2. Something that can be installed on a hard drive if I like it
| 3. Has a bunch of pre-loaded software development tools.
| 4. Has mySql installed.
This may be a problem; mysql needs to write to disc and a live cd doesn't
write to the disc. You can probably set up mysql on a RAM disc (/dev/shm)
but it would need to be really really small.
| 5. Something that "just works" and is easy.
| 6. Must have Perl installed. (Preferably 5.10, but at least 5.8.4)
| 7. Must have PHP
| 8. Must have Apache
| 9. Must have at least one C and one C++ compiler
| 10. The more libraries, the better
| 11. MonoDevelop would be nice, but not required
| 12. Eclipse would be nice
| 13. A Common LISP compiler, interpreter and debugger would be nice
| 14. Must have a Java compiler
| 15. As many IDE's as possible
That's "IDEs", not "IDE's". Plurals are not made with apostrophes.
| 16. A UML modeling tool would be great
| 17. Must have version control software preloaded.
| 18. Bug/Change tracking would be nice but not required
| 19. A memory debugging tool would be nice
| 20. Everything does not have to be open source, but it would be preferred.
| 21. If I have to sacrifice open source for an alternative that "just works" out of the box that is OK too.
You're getting on for something probably too big to fit on a Live CD.
Most of the main (Gentoo, Fedora, Ubunto etc) Linux distros will fit this
bill if you do a "full" install. I can't speak for what's "easiest" to
use a a dev env i.e. needing the least post install fiddling. I don't
use IDEs myself (just vi and a few terminals and language/lib docs in
a tabbed browser).
Sorry this wasn't much help to you.
Cheers,
