Just curious if anyone can offer some guidance, at this point I am leaning toward Ubuntu and timing wise I should be able to get the production version of ubuntu 11.10 within days of having the build complete. I will also have to bite the bullet and learn GIMP or setup fireworks using wine. Any advice on raid setup would be appreciated, I like the idea of being able to swap out a defective drive and not loose any data. I figure the SSD should give me good performance and reliability and I have read a bit about how to configure the SSD using linux, no access time etc.Īny thoughts? what’s your favourite distro and why. I considered going with a mac, but too much proprietary hardware, plug configurations software etc. Of course Ubuntu has great support and the largest community. (GTX 220)Īnyway, I like ubuntu and I am willing to take on unity interface, previously I used gnome. Cards that I have ordered are low end but I won’t be gaming on this machine. I will be installing two graphics cards because I want two monitors. Unfortunately the HP pavilion hardware did not run ubuntu very well (noisy fan was the biggest problem, which is kind of lame but I couldn’t handle the noise, nor did I realize that I could buy a third party fan controller)Īnyway this is for a new build, this should be a very capable machine but with emphasis placed on reliability, ability to upgrade and it should be very quiet and energy efficient.Ģ 1TB HDD (6gb/s)configured as raid1 (linux software raid, not mobo ‘fake’ raid)įancy case with massive fans and built in fan controller. In the past I have used ubuntu but for the last year or so, I have been developing on vista. I could be opening a can of worms but what is a good distro for web development on linux?
