Fargo,

Thanks for the advice. Parallels Desktop doesn't support Ubuntu, so I'll try SUSE.

Bob

By and large linux is still free, with pay options for support and whatnot. As Christian said, Ubuntu is pretty nice. If you want to set it up to use less RAM you can use the alternate Xubuntu, which is really just Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome for the desktop. Ubuntu also borrows pretty heavily from OS X for it's overall flow. For instance, while you can change this, by default there isn't a root user, you sudo everything, and Gnome is like a somewhat uglier Apple menu layout.

My second choice is tougher. I'd say either SuSE, or Fedora Core. I've had good experiences with both, though I'm going to lean towards SuSE for now, just because it seems a little lighter on it's toes.

Good luck,
Fargo


With price a consideration, what Linux versions would you recommend as 1st and 2nd choices for making plugins.

Bob
