Instead of asking them to install Linux distribution on their systems, I have advised them to run it through Live CD or through VMWare, for obvious reasons. </p> <p>Now I am looking for a Live CD which has tools required for programming installed in it. They are just beginners so their main requirement is GCC, Vim, GDB and make. But additional tools won't hurt either, like git, doxygen.</p> <p>So which distribution of Live CD would you recommend? </p> <p>Thanks for your time.</p>user-729Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:20:05 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1138/which-live-cd-has-all-the-tools-for-programmerslivecdprogramminghttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/59/how-linux-gets-installed<p>Hi,</p> <p>Suppose I get a Kernel source code and try to compile it on Linux which is not having gcc compiler then it will not get compiled for sure b'coz kernel needs gcc for compilation. My question is then how a Linux gets installed on raw hard disk which in not having gcc pre-installed. I also believe gcc can't be installed on raw hard disk (not sure and never tried). So, it is also not the case that Linux installs gcc first and then do the rest later. </p> <p>Can any one explain how the thing works from lower level point of view. </p>AnonymousThu, 15 Apr 2010 04:37:12 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/59/how-linux-gets-installedlinuxkernellivecdlfsgcc
