Hi all,
sorry, I don't want to engaged in the linux kernel mailing list but I would
like to use a Linux distribution proposed by the kernel developers.
Which Linux distribution would you recommend me?
Thank you,
Regards
Ozgur

Hi,
[picking up this orphan posting ;)]
choice of Linux distribution is a quite subjective thing.
Myself, I'm tending towards Debian-based distributions.
If your email handle is true to the core, then perhaps Debian stable
would be a good idea, otherwise choose an "easier on the user" variant
like SimplyMEPIS, MINT or even Ubuntu.
Reason being that with Debian installation of all kernel-related
packages (build-essential, libncurses5-dev etc.) is a simple matter
(which OTOH I'm sure is the case with many non-Debian distros as well).
Or if you want to be right at the forefront of Linux development,
then perhaps choosing a nicely integrated source-based distribution
such as Arch is a good idea to always have fresh packages.
But generally choice of distribution shouldn't really matter (in case
one is using a capable desktop distribution, of course).
HTH,
Andreas Mohr

Agreed - it doesn't really matter. But if he want a distro that is
used by developers, he may want to take a look at page 13 of
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/docs/lf_linux_kernel_development_2010.pdf
top kernel contributors by company.
I don't see anything related to distros that you proposed :P

The one that you prefer to use.
The distribution you use should have no bearing on your abillity to hack
on the kernel - use whatever you feel comfortable with. As long as you
have the proper tools available to obtain up-to-date kernel source
(git), build a custom kernel (gcc and friends), install and boot a custom
kernel, and your favorite text editor - you should be good to go.
LKML people use a lot of different distributions - it really doesn't
matter much. Me personally, I use Slackware Linux and Arch Linux.
