They seem to have the 2011 platform, http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/haskell-platform For non-Haskell concerns, it seems Ubuntu is nice, since it's built on Debian, but is maybe a little more user-friendly (in community and software choices). I found Gentoo not so user-friendly ... I am not one to enjoy spending time installing operating systems, or building things from source, even if they run faster [wrt. AMD vs. Intel gcc build options] :). cheers, Nicholas — https://ntung.com — 4432-nstung
