Re: [Gnumed-devel] Which distributions (distros) of Linux are recommended for GnuMed?

[richard terry]

Just to be different let me say I've been using ARCH linux for some 
months in preference to Debian. Over the years I've tried, Suse, 
Mandrake, Redhat, Gentoo, various Debian flavours and much to my 
surprise have felt most comfortable with ARCH which has given  me the 
least trouble in regard to dependencies - less even than Debian - which 
in my hands still managed to get screwed up.

But, I'm out on a limb with that one I guess, so  Debian is most likely 
the best for most people.
