go with SUsE or Mdk, not redhat, u'll spend your money for nothing

Mandrake but, SUsE is better
Thanks for the information. :)
Ditto on Suse

I tried downloading DX 8.1 SDK (about 120MB) using a file splitter, and it took me about a week after several failed attempts.
Few weeks of aggravation versus $80. Decisions, decisions.. :D
I would buy it for single reason that people want linux to catch up with MS, but in order to do that, the distro companies need to start making money for future additions and advertising. Open your wallet and help out your favorite distro.
I third that.Quote:

Less overhead waste.
I have RedHat 8.0 personal installed (downloaded it) and installed all the complete release. There are a lot of programming tools, some very basic ( a C/C++ compiler) some a pretty advanced (something like visual C++ with a IDE enviroment)
But everything you do must be C/C++
You're not limited to c/c++ : You can get IBM's eclipse for linux if you want to do java development; Borland's Kylix is a delphi-like language complete with window designer; just need to look around and see what's out there ;)
there'S a VB for Linux... under Gnome...
They also have some decent Windows emulators, but not wine!
$80???? i Have seen cd sets (NOT BOX or anything for >$10USD) Why spend $80 for documentation that your not gonna use very much or at all when you can get it in pdf's or whatever for free?
Im sure some that you know has highspeed and a buner
also m$ will send you cd version of service packs, sdk's and many downloadable items for $5-10usd + S&H so dont have to spend so much time downloading.
Not DX 8.1. I called them and they said 'no.'
Really, i thought i saw it there once couldnt find it for DX 9 eather. If your still looking for Linux discs theres quite a few for sale on ebay.
I think I am going with the home version of SuSE. :)
Thanks for all your help!
