title: C programming on linux: which distro and tools to use
body: <p>I normally use notepad++ with MinGW for compiling, for writing in C. But the debugger sometimes just don't work properly in windows, just like the compiler. So I sometimes use a linux-system, made by the Harvard University, but it is specified for a special study, and I was wondering what the best linux alternative is for programming in C. Which apps can I use the best for programming in linux, etc? I know it's a matter of taste, but I'm just looking for some good advice, which I can't really find with google, or at least, not really trustable advice :)</p>
