I just got Ubuntu (Edgy) Linux (the one that comes with Gnome). I love it, but theres a lot of things that just annoy me about Linux. First off, I don't have an internet connection at my house. So I can't download straight from Linux. Secondly, I don't have a burnable DVD drive. Installing from Linux, as most know can be troublesome because you have to install a bunch of dependencies first. And even the dependencies have dependencies. So, I want one app (anjuta) and I check all the dependencies an I have to download like 500 things. It gets so annoying. Since I can't download the dependencies straight from Linux, I need to go to the Library. Library blocks booting from a CD so I can't check if I have what I need there. The only other option is a repository DVD that comes with alot of stuff for Ubuntu. I don't have a burnable DVD drive (nor does anyone else I know) Even if I did, I don't have the medium to transport the data to my computer (I don't have a 4.7 GB flash drive; just a 1 GB one). So... My question to you guys is... Is there a repository CD (NOT DVD) that I can download with a bunch of dev tools for Linux (preferably Ajunta)? Or something I can do so I don't have download like 500 files.
