Question What Distro to use that install binarys and source on install for 64 bit?


I have tried many Linux distributions in the past. However, I have not yet found one that installs all binary as well as the source code. I want this because I would like to have the ability to edit, recompile and modify all aspects of my 64 bit system without having to compile the system from scratch on the initial install.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

If you use Debian or Ubuntu, you should be able to install sources as you need them from the src repositories.
