[CS-FSLUG] Learning C++ with Linux

[Ron Thompson]

   I'm back for some more help & direction.  Other than use the standard 
packaged software in Linux for the last few years I haven't gone much 
further.  I'd like to pick up some basic programming and Nathan has loaned me 
a good starter book for C++  But the problem I'm finding is that there seem 
to be fewer standard distributions that include software development 
packages.  Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems harder to find a list of 
packages included in the major distributions.

    Ideally, I'd like to have a bootable USB drive or CD with Linux (and the 
development software) on it so I could take my lessons and projects with me 
and maybe put a some time into them at lunch.

    I'm looking for some help to find a suitable light version of Linux that 
is CD or USB drive bootable.
