I would like a Mandrake like installer but for developer stacks like Java/C/C++/Qt/PHP/RoR/Python/JS/Android with all databases and IDE support out of the box. And a way to extend the installer so we don't have to rework.
Mandrake... 🖤🖤🖤 That was my first daily driver distro (I think it was 6 or 7 install CDs back then?), one that I stuck with on a few machines for my first few years after my very first taste of distro hopping. It's been so long, though, that I'd need a refresher on how the installer worked.
Mandrake was wayy back but I think I remember the installer clearly.
I only had 2 installation CDs though. I suppose Mandrake changed to Mandriva to Margia so it's that far.
The menu had list of options on what you are going to install linux . Like Desktop , programming , server ,gaming , internet, multimedia, science and stuff. Each of the items had a list of software which were going to be installed. IIRC Suse has similar menu but not like Mandrake.
And specifically Mandrake, because I am not sure the installer experience of Mandriva or Maegia.
Ok found an installation video. youtube.com/watch?v=s_pfkQyUJPg
Look at the Package Group Selection Thing. Since you are targeting developers specifically, the stacks can be installed like Ruby Station ,JS Station and stuff
OK, right, so like Ubuntu Studio Installer does for creative software groups (e.g. Graphics, Video, Publishing, Pro Audio, for users of Ubuntu or other non-Studio derivatives), or tasksel does in CLI. It's something I'd like to add to the welcome app instead of the installer itself, again to avoid borked installs as much as possible.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
