We use Ubuntu for Davinci development. Seems to work fine.

Regarding MontaVista, they have some restrictions which Linux distro 
to use on host:

DVEVM Getting Started Guide (Rev. C)
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/techdocsabstract.tsp?abstractName=sprue
66c
Section 4.3.1

talks about

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4
* SuSe v10.0 Workstation

There are some reports that other distros will work (with installation 
trick) as well:

01477.html

Regarding git/open source toolchain (e.g. like described in [1]) *all* 
more or less recent distributions are fine (Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse
etc.)

Dirk
