Ok so I actually have reason to "refresh" my linux skills.
1. Which distros do people use now (mainly for software development) 2. What C++ compiler is the standard? (Chuck, feel free to mention those you work with, they will probably matter more to me) |

QUOTE (jwttu @ Jun 22 2008, 08:46 PM)  whats the best distro for a novice? I want to play around with linux Probably either ubuntu or mandriva. Out of the two, I'd probably recommend ubuntu as that's what I've had the most personal experience with. You can also try out fedora or openSUSE, but I'd get the older versions for both of those (version 8 for fedora and I believe version 10.3 for openSUSE). They both tend to use a lot of bleeding edge software and if you're a novice, it can be difficult to determine if a problem you're having is based on something you're doing wrong or if it's a bug (or both). Also, VirtualBox is great for trying distros out in a virtual machine without actually installing anything on your computer. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
