What is the best Linux distro for software development, mainly C?
I'm looking for the Linux distro that will fit me the best.
The OS will run on an old desktop with a 3.xGHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 1 gig of ram, so no tremendous system. I plan to use it primarily for surfing the web (not games or anything) and develop software in primarily C. I want the OS to come with the entire GCC toolchain, or a package manager that makes it really easy to install (like APT).
And I don't want any visual effects or fancy desktop graphics or anything. I wouldn't mind it being simpler than Windows XP... or at least, it should be really easy to turn of all desktop effects and such.

Thanks,
Benjamin.
