Is there any difference between the Developers ED and the Basic Edition of Linspire?

Developers Ed includes developer tools. Ie compiler, IDE, headers, make, automake, patch etc
Also it contains man pages for all commands.

So its a complete OS instead of the stripped one that you can buy? like the apt get works and stuff like that or no?

Lindows, Inc. only sells complete OS'es. apt-get works in all Linspire versions but may, as with any apt-get compatible linux dist, give you variable results depending on what respositories you point it at.
apt-get is far from the definition of a "complete OS" though. No major OS'es ship with apt-get today...
