Hi all:
As i work through my mailbox, there are quite a few mails
asking about which Linux distribution to use ?
The in principle answer is: It's your choice !
Here is a suggestion based on information collated from
user experience, Linux desktop market share and from working
on Twincling projects.
1. If you want 'polish' use OpenSuSe 11
If you want 'power' use Gentoo Linux 2008.0
2. If you work on any of the Twincling projects, then you
are expected to use OpenSuSe 11 (for application projects)
or Gentoo Linux (for Twincling Linux projects)
3. We track the bugs and issues pro-actively on a weekly basis
only for OpenSuSe and Gentoo. This means if you are using these
distros, then work arounds or updates or configuration
settings should be available.
4. OpenSuSe is strong in Europe and China. Gentoo is used by
many server and appliance vendors.
5. Starting from October - support documentation and videos will be
made available for OpenSuSe and Gentoo distributions.
Having said that, there are many geeks and Open Source enthusiasts
on the Twincling list, who should be able to help with other
distributions.
thanks
Saifi.
