When choosing a Linux distribution, look for one with crystallographic software available in a package repository so you don't have to waste time dealing with that. No matter how convenient a software project like CCP4 tries to make it to install by hand, it will never integrate with a system as well as packaging designed to do so. Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL, and Gentoo all have crystallographic packages available somewhere. From that point, it's just a question of what you're most comfortable with. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
