I use Arch and can't recommend it, because I think I am the first guy who detect issues with newer versions, like toolchain build with make 4.0 and the changed sed version string. These things are all well fixed now. For me, it's good to using newer software, so ptxdist can prepare to the upcomming changes. For Debian and Ubuntu, I would only use the stable branch of debian or Ubuntu LTS [0] version. Then you have _maybe_ no issues if you using a older ptxdist or toolchain version. But then it's the question if you really want to use a older ptxdist or toolchain version. - Alex [0] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
