Hi.

I have used Linux in the past including Red Hat and Debian. I like Debian better because of its huge library of software packages. Red Hat was faster to install and get working, but I had difficulty compiling and updating new builds of kernel.

Anyways, I enjoy programming using C++. That is all I want to do if possible.

What is the best/prefer Linux distribution for developers (C++)?

What is the best/prefer X (Gnome, KDE, etc.) for developers (C++)? My college uses Red Hat + KDE.

Thanks,
Kuphryn
