![]() ![]() Very small distribution with great support for programming related packages.ĭoubtful. Heavily optimized and very popular among the programming crowd. You can grab just Disc 1 and install what you need. Your hands never really have to leave the keyboard and everything is very customizable.ĭepends on what you mean by minimum. Once you learn the keyboard shortcuts of the window managers and your editor, you're like a black hole of productivity. If you want to be very productive and minimalistic, check out a tiling window manager like xmonad, ratpoison, or awesome. Arch also has the most up to date packages, which can be very important on a development machine. Start at a minimum and install only what you'll use. I'm a fan of fine tuning, so out of all of those I'd have to pick Arch. Recommendations for other i686 optimized Linux, if any, or let's say i386 is also fine, as I will only use it for coding.įor system administrators: I would like to know if Arch Linux keeps the potential to penetrate companies for production systems, and replace Red Hat Linux/Debian/BSD in servers for hosting applications/portals.Īddition: Just a thought- is there any distribution which helps you to be a better programmer, developer or analyst, in terms of the way things should be done? I don't know if I am over-generalizing it :). For guest OS Arch Linux guys in VirtualBox, is your guest-additions working fine in Arch Linux?įreeBSD 8, is it possible for a minimum install? And recommended. If it is binary, I think I can have a quick setup. Wikipedia says it is mainly a binary-based distribution, but everywhere on the Internet/community only talk about its source-based approach. Is there also a recommended version of Ubuntu Lite? I read Ubuntu Lite is not good, some others are also not that good.Īrch Linux, reading a great deal about it. That is all what I can think of now mainly.ĭebian-unstable minimum, and then using apt-get to do the rest. I thought of using debian-unstable-minimum, and installing build-essentials, openbox (or a little more feature light-WM, ps recommend), ssh-server, Ethereal, iptables, Nmap (maybe), Vim, Python 3. I am looking for a light-weight distribution for a development machine setup. Now I am shifting to Windows, and installing Linux in VirtualBox, Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL). I have few years of experience on Linux, mainly Ubuntu (dual-boot). ![]()
