Thanks a whole lot for all who responded.  It was very helpful.

We are still trying to get Arch linux up and running.  We have it booting
fast, and it is barebones.  It also has gcc 4.1.2.

PROBLEM
When I run osgviewer in the fvwm95 window manager, it is not full screen.
It is just maximized.

QUESTION
1) Anybody know how to fix this?  Just run a different window manager?
2) When I edit nvidia-settings, how can I get those settings to stick the
next time I boot?  Also, is there a way to make the settings user specific.

Thanks.


Zach

Subject: [osg-users] Linux distribution choice

Hello again,

After extensive mental agony looking out the window at the distant view, I
realized I must jump out.  Billy forced me to, and now I'm hang gliding over
the Antarctic.  I think I see penguins.  I need some guidance landing this
thing...

I'm looking for the best linux distribution for OpenSceneGraph.  This will
be a delivered computer running full screen osg.  I'm not looking to include
any development tools with this.  

REQUIREMENTS
1) render fast
2) boot fast
3) easy to maintain
4) have minimum barebones utilities (no gizmos I need to disable)

QUESTIONS
1) Best distribution for my requirements?
2) Best windowing toolkit for rendering osg fast, if it matters for full
screen? (ie. kde, gnome, etc.)
3) Best compiler version for osg?  Is gcc >=4.0 good?
4) Best kernel version for osg?
5) We are currently planning on using the crux linux distribution at the
moment?  Any bad/good experiences?  http://crux.nu/
6) For osg development, I'd like to use Suse.  Is it risky to mix
distributions?
7) Does redhawk linux get you anything with osg?

Thanks a lot.

Zach
