Hey, Whatever happened to bottom-posting. Macs do quite good as development platform, if you're not too interested in the gory system details. Ubuntu is also a nice Linux tailored towards people new to the Linux world, and hides most of the administrative complexity behind pretty dialogs and automations. I use Arch myself, for production and development. Anyhow, it's very subjective. There's nothing else than trial and error to find your fitting system. Bear in mind, that when everything is said and done, Linux is Linux, whatever the name they put on. When you take the fancy ubuntu stuff off, it's no different from a slackware system. Just take any prejudices and drop them in the trash can, and then set up a weekend to try a few distros, try and set up a simple server with each, see if you can find documentation on securing the systems, etc. Take your time, and take notes of what you like or dislike of each. It took me several years to finally settle on Arch, because it's not really for novices, but once you know some linux-fu, an advanced system that doesn't hide anything is what you really want. At least, it went that way for me. Best luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
