distro best used for compiling

shadowhunter · 11-15-2003, 06:38 AM

I llike compiling software on my own...

Only those -dev packages make me go insane.

Is there any kind of distro around that also installs the -devs?

SuSE will install them as an option when you do the install.

I wouldnt like DAYS of compiling on my 150 mhz pentium...

If gentoo had binaries...

Actually, Gentoo has some binaries: the basic system (stage3) and some larger graphical packages like X, KDE and OpenOffice (GRP packages).

Binaries? Gentoo Reference Platform

flag -k I believe also specifies binaries.

I thought you said "I llike compiling software"

have you ever tried compiling kde on a computer that stands in your bedroom that has 150mhz... I cant sleep that way. But indeed, those small packages, I think about lfs now... No big packages.
