I've been writing C programmes for the last 28 years and have used nothing but vi or similar editor under Vax/VMS. I also prefer to use vi for all of my programming (Java, Ruby, awk, Kshell, python, etc.) -- I've never been a big fan of the "development environments." There are others who feel differently, but the bottom line is that you dont need anything but vi, the compiler, and make (though I prefer mk from Plan-9).

ubuntu is a better choice, you can go for.

if you cant compile, you may need to install build-essential package on top of it, that should be enough for your programs. all the best.

if you are a windows user that would like to remotely get into a linux box (such as ubuntu), you may want to use WinSCP to write C (or any other) apps within a window WinSCP :: Download
