Well, while I have used commercial variants of Unix over the decades, and Windows extensively (because my clients/employers were all Windows houses), I have been examining both Ubuntu and OpenSuse. I quite like them both, and I have been experimenting with them in terms of enhancing my cross platform development skills (mostly C++ and Perl, but Java when I must (Java is still painfully slow for me, relative to C++, when I am working on high performance number crunching code for modelling and risk assessment and management applications - for me, C++ gained an edge over FORTRAN in high performance number crunching several years ago). But, when I launch a new business in a few months, I will need to decide which Linux distro I install on my new hardware, and right now I am inclined toward the path of least resistance.
But thanks, I will try to build it myself on a new Ubuntu VM, just to see how well that goes (a, I will have to do it if I decide to go with Ubuntu on my new server anyway). I see you provide a link to an iso image. What, exactly, is on it?
