I'm not dissing Windows; I work with it all the time, just not for Haskell. On the other hand, I am writing this on my Powerbook. My desire to use linux is mostly aesthetic.

With respect to choice of linux, the machine I have in mind is not terribly fast, so I prefer to install from binaries rather than source. Do Debian and Ubuntu provide more or less the same Haskell packages?
