Which is exactly the problem for ubuntu? (about the vi editor)??

anonymous · Answer

don't use the vi editor, use eclipse, it integrates well with gcc, then you can use any distribution. However, at our offices, we use fedora project rather than ubuntu for gcc development, but it is a personal preference.

fedora is free, redhat is paid, they are source code compatible. download the fedora dvd 32bit or 64bit, choose development environment as primary, or custom and select all the environments you want.
