As far as a specific distro, you might use Red Hat or Fedora (Red Hat's bleeding edge). Why? Because Steven Erat, one of Macromedia's support guys, has a LOT of excellent information for using CF with Red Hat. Search his blog for Linux and you will find a lot of good information. Because you will most likely run into problems getting CF to work, but Steven has fixes posted for most everything you'll run into. Personally I'd prefer not to use Fedora/Red Hat, but since there is such a wealth of information for Red Hat/CF, I'd probably go that route.
Also, search the archives of the Online CF Meetup group, because there were one or two presentations by Steven that cover using CF in Linux. Sorry I didn't grab any links for you, but that's what Google's for, right? ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: DURETTE, STEVEN J > > Hi all, > > After many years, I decided to go back to school and finish > my degree... > One of my current classes is Linux + Certification and I am going to > have a project. > > I was thinking that my project would be to create a Linux distro that > had just the tools needed by ColdFusion developers to do their work. > > That being said, I have some questions for everyone on the list.
