The reason for that is because Ubuntu is installed from a single CD,
whereas Fedora is installed from a larger set of CDs.

However, installing "development tools" is trivial - just let the
package manager do that. You can easily automate the installation to
provide you the exact set of packages you need (in both distributions).

Normally I don't need most existing "development" packages anyway.
