There is, but not for fedora, only Ubuntu.

well, the "only" part isn't that right, right? I know there is Arch Linux package and you can do "yaourt -S love", "yaourt -S love-05" or "yaourt -S love-hg" to get latest 0.6, 0.5 or tip from hg, with all dependencies and update tracking - and what more - by default you can install all 3 together as executables are named love, love-05 and love-hg - so you can easily test your game on different versions or play older, yet un-ported games and still manage all with your package manager. I'm not sure Ubuntu have those

Anyway, as I saw someone recommended *buntu, I cannot refuse to add that I'm never recommending *buntu even to enemies Why not pick some mature distribution - port based package management and rolling release are better for development, really. It's my opinion and my 0.02$ though - I might be biased here as I never liked any .deb or .rpm except for opensuse/meego maybe where they have their uses - but as far as any development goes - for 4 years used Slackware and then moved to Arch and I'm happy with it another 4 years already - had 1 day episode of Ubuntu as second OS in 2005 when there was so much of first wave of noise - I see no reason really, it even didn't had root or gcc by default at least back then - and all this splitting to lib and lib-dev is just plain z-class horror, it only proves it isn't system designed for any serious work, but to show people coming from windows they can use word editor, movie player and web browser on Linux too. To say, I'm pretty sure that *buntu is good for what it is good at, and what it was made for.

Just to give some perspective, I use ubuntu on my current day job.

Root access:

Code: Select all

 sudo -i

Gcc:

Code: Select all

 sudo aptitude install gcc

And I installed it in 20 minutes.

My workplace uses Ubuntu on their machines.
The clusters are running Red Hat though.
