"Onebase Linux DevelopGo is a special Live-CD released by the Onebase Linux Project. As the name indicates, it is meant exclusively for programmers. Although I am a Windows programmer, I was searching for such a Live-CD that would allow me to experiment with different types of toolkits and IDEs available in Linux. Onebase DevelopGo matched exactly what I wanted to have with a suite of developer tools and compilers."

Onebase was the distro that let me try out KDE 3.3, being the only one I knew of at the time with it on a livecd, and I appreciated that. It got them good exposure. Then they disappeared. It seems Klax has taken over the liveCD + prerelease KDE niche, and Onebase lost out. Too bad for them, I guess this is a way to try to get some mindshare back.
I've not tried it though, if I want to try an IDE I just install it. It's a lot easier and safer than installing beta versions of my desktop environment. So, I don't see them gaining back much mindshare with this.

what, like
"This "Live Development Platform" looks absolutely awesome. I was waiting for something exactly like this and here it comes. DevelopGo looks so good, well integrated and polished, it might well become somewhat of a new standard for development."

>>Ruby and Cobol fringe and useless ??? What planet do you live on. Oh yes and wxPython is soooooo main stream.
Ruby is pointless without Ruby On Rails, something they didn't bother to put on the CD. COBOL 0.32??? Oh yes, I'm really going to build modern GUI or Web application software with a 0.32 version of an obsolete 1960's language. Either give me a break or pass on over whatever you're smoking.
Oh, and until you've tried wxPython, don't knock it. It's an awesome cross-platform development environment. Ever hear of Mitch Kapor (Mr. Lotus 1-2-3 himself), son? His OSAF team is building Chandler in guess what, wxPython. He was in the computer field a decade before you shat in your first diaper, so wouldn't be using wxPython if he didn't understand just how awesome it is.

What have you been smoking? Seriously, rails just made ruby more popular. You can do everything which can be done with python (even easier) with Ruby be it with rails or not. Rails is just a webdevelopment framework that uses the power of ruby the language.
Please, get your facts straight next time you bash other programming/scripting language!

I downloaded and burnt the CD.
1. First thing I noticed is that it didn't find my network connection. Couldn't browse the web.
2. Second thing I noticed is the "save to usb" didn't find my usb drive (although the system found it).
3. Tried it on 2 machines with the same results (err.. failures)
4. Third thing I noticed is very little help was available on their web forum. lots of posts unanswered.
Now I'm wondering about the legitamcy of the review posted here. I'm disappointed. The product looked nice. I wish I could get it working... <sigh>
