This kind of loaded question has been around since the dawn of time ;) Did not mean to imply you were starting a war ... Was just an attempt at humor ;)
In reality, Use the distro that you are comfortable with ... that suites Your needs. Don't worry about what others are using ;) ... Assuming you know how/can build efl & e from source, then Any distro will do ;) That being said, there is NO official "EFL/E" distro. People use what they are comfortable with. We don't endorse Any specific one... (well, officially anyway). Personal opinions vary of course ;) Personally, I have tried 99.99% of the ones out there (since 1996 including LinuxPro 2.0 with a pre 1.0 kernel ... 0.9 I think it was, when I first started) and I always come back to 1) Gentoo 2) Arch .... (currently Gentoo tho) Whatever you decide to use, as long as you have the required EFL/E dependencies (and headers) installed, then there should be no major issues with building/running EFL & E. A list of deps/packages are here : http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en on the left side of the page. Best of Luck !!
