Fedora is probably the most cutting edge distribution (it uses the newest versions of all the most important software). Fedora sort of sucks in Africa because every time you do the equivelent of a apt-cache search it pulls the latest package list from the server which sucks over a slow network. You can turn that off but it still will update try once a day.
Debian unstable is pretty aggressive about using new software as well, but that also eats bandwidth because there are updated packages released every day. Gentoo is maybe a good distro for learning to develop Linux because you have to do so much by hand. It is complicated, so it forces you to learn how the programs fit together and how they are configured. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
