Using Which Version of Linux

[bonono at gmail.com]

They are all the same as you don't have specific requirements
mentioned. Based on the way you ask, I would say some debian derivative
like ubuntu. debian is not programmer friendly but admin friendly I
would say. In general programmer friendly distro to me would mean
install everything one can possiblity think of by default so everything
is at hand for use.

Never tried the new solaris so I have no idea but I had some problem
when installed their old x86 a few years back however things may have
changed a lot.

I tried briefly with fedora but its packaging system is not up to par,
comparing with debian. However, you get newer things in fedora, in
general. Fedora has the advantage that it works better with commercial
stuff like Oracle/Sybase. I had problem making Sybase installed under
debian(the reason why I tried fedora).
