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.
