looking to document a decent (fedora) linux development environment

  a client of mine has a small number of (mostly C) developers to be
migrated from windows to linux, and wants some guidance as to how to
set up a reasonably complete linux-based development environment that
includes not just the standard compilers and interpreters (C, C++,
perl, python, etc.), but a solid collection of utilities for coding,
debugging, performance analysis and so on, so i decided to create a
doc describing a first pass at a decent linux dev environment, and i'm
open to suggestions.

  first, as i mentioned, there are all the standard
compilers/interpreters, so that needs little elucidation. but after
that ...

  in terms of coding, i guess it's worth mentioning the standard IDEs,
as well as editor plugins for C coding; also static analyzers like
splint, etc.

  for debuggers, obviously, gdb/lldb. for user space tracing, strace
and ltrace. for memory checking, valgrind. all the usual suspects.

  i'm going to put all this on a public wiki page once i get it done,
so i'm curious as to what folks out there think are "must haves" in
terms of linux development tools. (i'm not even going to get into
kernel analysis/tracing tools, which just explodes this
exponentially.)

  thoughts? any recommendations for online articles that address this
sort of thing?
