Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2010 16:50:27 +0100 From: Andreas Mohr <andi@...as.de> To: Ozgur Karatas <kaigeek@...il.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: Linux distribution Hi, [picking up this orphan posting ;)] choice of Linux distribution is a quite subjective thing. Myself, I'm tending towards Debian-based distributions. If your email handle is true to the core, then perhaps Debian stable would be a good idea, otherwise choose an "easier on the user" variant like SimplyMEPIS, MINT or even Ubuntu. Reason being that with Debian installation of all kernel-related packages (build-essential, libncurses5-dev etc.) is a simple matter (which OTOH I'm sure is the case with many non-Debian distros as well). Or if you want to be right at the forefront of Linux development, then perhaps choosing a nicely integrated source-based distribution such as Arch is a good idea to always have fresh packages. But generally choice of distribution shouldn't really matter (in case one is using a capable desktop distribution, of course).
