I am setting up a development environment to learn CouchDB. But, I'm using Windows.
I tried Cygwin, but kept running into various problems. So, I decided to switch to Linux running under VMware. I still think this is the best direction. I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu (11.10) and installed it. But, then I discovered that CouchDB 1.1 support was limited, and I haven't been able to get CouchDB installed. Here's my question. What's the best, stable version of Linux for running CouchDB 1.1? Should I use another version of Ubuntu or another distribution entirely? Thanks for any advice.
