Setting up a "proper" dev environment depends very much on the distro and the development target. For example, a Python dev environment is going to be quite different from a C++ dev environment (at least for beginners), and a server dev environment is almost the opposite of a web dev environment. Then there's the deb vs. rpm dichotomy, and we will not mention vi vs. emacs because surely the 1970s are over? PS. vim FTW -- Stephen M. Webb <stephen [ dot ] webb [ at ] bregmasoft [ dot ] ca>
