Which Linux Distribution?


Overload

Recommended Posts

Although i haven't tested it with Houdini

SimplyMEPIS installs and works like a charm

(even where Ubuntu fails miserably)

Yes MEPIS is great, specially in harware detection.

But I have to say that Ubuntu is the best designed and user friendly linux distro for my opinion.

This is the reason because MEPIS has moved to Ubuntu instead of Debian based:

Anyway Mepis is a great option of course.

I'm a fan of Gentoo and Houdini works just fine.

I don't know if things have improved in the past two years, but trying to install anything from source used to be rather scary using Fedora or Suse. Trying to resolve dependencies drove me nuts at times ;). This is where Gentoo shines and if you're happy to have just a 'fairly' optimised linux, installing Gentoo isn't any more difficult then other distributions. Besides they have a very good community and documentation: this is what convinced me most.

Well, as long as you can do you work it doesn't really matter which linux flavour you choose.
