  1. Standard stuff:

    • The compiler tools, gcc, gdb, etc.
    • Some sort of editor/IDE (emacs, vim, eclipse)
    • Profiling tools
    • Source Control (SubVersion, git, etc)
    • Language specific tools, like easy_install for python (you said C/C++, but the same goes for everything)
    • A web server maybe? Apache, Lighttpd, nginx
    • Any libraries you’ll be using. Are you doing kernal hacking? Driver development? opengl?
