Which linux distro's comes with a C compiler?
I believe they all come with it. And just about all Linux distros are free.
Reply:Yeah they all should have a c compiler in the gcc. And they are all free.

Reply:i dont know of any general purpose linux distro that does not come with a C compiler :-)


The default c compiler is gcc (which can also compile other languages apart from c)


If you have a linux PC, type gcc on the command line and see if you get any output. If you do, you have gcc


And yes, if its on linux, its almost guaranteed to be free (an often also open source)
