Thanks for the advice-- I've run Linux without a GUI for a long time,
so I'm quite familiar with hand compilations-- but I always wondered
if I was just missing something with packaging systems that it seemed
to REQUIRE hand-compilation to get a workable development LAMP system.
Anytime I tried using packages some need seemed to force me back to
doing it by hand.
I guess it depends on what you are developing.. Most package systems
have the extensions available but not installed by default (eg
php-mysql, php-pgsql, php-imap etc).
So I guess my more specific question would have been: Are there any
distributions that actually TARGET developers and I Was curious about
desktop tools. I own Zend but tend to use Homesite and Emacs in
regular doses. Guess I will probably stick with Emacs and use Zend
more. I know enough Vim to survive, but it just isn't "me" :)
I don't think any actually target developers.
You could always run either *bsd or gentoo, they are ports based and
compile most stuff from scratch so should be quite easy to get it
exactly how you want it.
