So I have installed 5.04. I have also GCC 3.5.5 and Mono 1.1.7.

Can you please recommend me what do I need to start Linux development from here on? Actually I'm interested in graphics programming (OpenGL + C++ + SDL, evtl. GNOME programming no KDE plz) and C# programming (ASP.NET and multiplatform Windows.Forms programs).

Note: Since I cannot connect to the internet I have do download all packages manually. I'm using flash-get not apt-get ](*,) \\:D/

What IDE would you recommend? I'd prefer something simple, fast with intergrated debugging.

Install kdevelop and try it out.

www.eclipse.org

it's not exactly lightweight but it's nice and has a lot of sweet plugins.

"I'd prefer something simple, fast with intergrated debugging."

command line, vim, Makefile, and ddd ;-)

eclipse is not great for C/C++ (you can try it out: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/ with a 3.0 version of eclipse); the Java stuff is great, the C++, not so great.

You could look into anjuta (a Gnome IDE), and monodevelop . emacs might meet your needs, depending on your definition of simple.

Anjuta seems the way to go. Monodevelop does not work very nice. Actually it does not start 4 of 5 times and requires a complete reboot. I don't get what's wrong. Perhaps a bug. I hate emacs, eclipse - uhm - no Java for me please! KDevelop is nice - I tried it on Knoppix - great. I tried to install it on Debian - no thanks! Won't do it again! Also I prefer GNOME and I'll go for GNOME only stuff.
