Linux distribution, Rails and an IDE

I have been developing in RoR for the last month. As I am new, I 'd rather use an IDE which helps a lot in code completion. In any case, I use RubyMine. Thing is that for the IDEs to work properly, best practice is to be installed in the development environment itself.

So, I am now going for a development environment: Of course i choose Linux, but here is my question:

Is there any linux distro specifically built for software development? I assume it needs LAMP and a lightweight graphical environment 开发者_JAVA技巧that supports RubyMine. I can install RVM later.

Any general-purpose Linux distribution will come with a plethora of development tools. Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE, and dozens of others will fit your needs. Remember: All Linux distributions are developed by, well, developers... and they need development tools, too.

As a general rule, the only distributions that will not have development tools for them are special-purpose distros, where those things have been stripped out to save space, or make the installation simpler.
