Ubuntu,Simplymepis,gentoo are internet only Linux distros.You can install new software/kernel only if you have internet connection.Also it is hardto get debian softwares.As they are in .deb file format.For using RPM on debian distros you have convert thm using ALIEN command.
Many distros comes up with the single install CD that have
1)Networking/Server software
2)Office
3)Games
4)Mutimedia >>Audio>>video>>Graphics.
Most of the softwares in this categary are essential while i can point out 30% are optional<extra>
and thier is no space for Developers as it is not included as major package list from thier point of view.Many IDE's are not given with the linux distros.
Developer Packages comes up with most of linux distros are:-
1)Python
2)Tcl-tk
3)Apache
4)Perl
(Gcc is optional with most of distros)
This forces developer to downlaod the tools from their server.Process also takes so much time.On the other hand Mendrake,Red Hat Fedora distros packs in with all the developer goodies.So what makes sense downloading single ISO's from other distros,enjoying distros without developer softwares.
i can suggest digit these software
1)Kdevelop + Qt3 Designer
2)Anjuta
3)Eclipse
4)codeforge
It is true under Windows dominance, it is hard to get linux Software's if you dont have internet connection.So developers/programmers who dont have internet connection & can't get thier hands onto linux dev softwares CD's can quit with programming on linux envirement.But most of the computer users in india (say more than 50%) are not connected to internet.so getting most of the application for linux is not possible.On the windows side you can get developer softwares in most of magazines or from your friend.
atleast i m forced not to program for KDE/Gnome.
if such continues then definitely linux is going to be Broadband OS,What you think?
