Then I'd think twice before choosing a distro that does not even
deliver development tools out of the box and requires installing them.
The URL Dotan supplied explains how to install a *basic* set of build
tools for (and suggests building stuff under /usr/local/src but as a
regular user - not a good idea, IMHO). I suspect (I do not know) that
this basic set is not enough to actually *develop* SW.

I'd probably give bonus points to a distro that allows you to check a
"Development" box at install time.
