using ubuntu and being a developer..
My first linux (redhat 4.2) came with a lot of things I took for granted. Ever since switching to ubuntu (because let’s face it, ubuntu is a great linux distro, debian on the desktop that *works*), I’ve regularly run into the problem of not finding man pages for some basic ansi c stuff. Today I finally lost my temper, and instead of relying on some online man pages dug through the packages and found it “manpages-dev”. Thanks to whoever decided these 3043kB of diskspace should be spared by default. Argh.
