Ubuntu was built on debian so you shouldn''t have too much trouble. however, if you can afford a mac... that''s really the best way to go. i don''t know what i would do without mine :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

gino, I would go with Fedora or Ubuntu, but any recent distro with a good package manager will do. I''ve been thoroughly impressed with Ubuntu''s update/upgrade feature recently. I upgraded from 6.x to 7 without any problems. While I''d rather stick with Fedora to match 90% of my production market, Ubuntu supported the hardware on my laptop with greater success.

Desktop Edition if you like GUIs, Server if you like command line.

asking this kind of question is like asking what kind of pie goes best with ice cream. you''re going to get a different answer from just about everyone. Ubuntu seems to be the favorite flavor of linux lately. I''d say Fedora is probably next. You''ve also got OpenSuse, Redhat, Gentoo, Slackware, etc. Ubuntu and Fedora OpenSuse) are probably the easiest distributions to install/maintain. I don''t think I''ve had to compile anything from source on any of my installs, except for the ocassional smal/unknown lib or app. Basically it comes down to this: use what you feel most comfortable with. If it''s Ubuntu, then go with that, but there is no BEST linux distribution for Rails.

While I agree with everyone about Ubuntu (I''m using Kubuntu on my desktop), my little Linux server is running Slackware 11 with great success. If you''re wanting to setup a low memory/CPU box, Slackware has great performance. It''s a little more DIY (Do It Yourself), but there''s plenty of documentation around the Interweb. :) On May 9, 11:40 am, gino <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''m using windows, but want to try linux, which would be a good choice? > I installed ubuntu once, but I hardly used it, so I''m thinking on > installing it again, but, I would like some suggentions > > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
