I love ArchLinux for use on the desktop. For servers I use Debian. Euphoria 4.0 is available for both by a simple package. With ArchLinux it's in the AUR repository already. For Debian, you download a package from our Downloads page. Matt does most (all?) of his development on Ubuntu (based on Debian). So that may very well be the most tested but either should work. For other variants of Linux, you can download a source tarball and simply do configure   make   make install.

I like ArchLinux better for a desktop for two reasons:

1. It's more progressive on software releases, i.e. the latest and greatest become available on ArchLinux much quicker than it does on Ubuntu or Debian (Stable versions... so if running a bleeding edge, this argument may not apply).
2. Its package tool, pacman, is much nicer to write packages for than having to write a deb package. Thus, when I stumble across a new program I want to try that a package does not exist for, I can easily write a package file for it in ArchLinux and install, later remove easily if I don't like it. Not so with Ubuntu.

Now, Ubuntu has a huge user base. ArchLinux is no little distribution in regards to userbase either but it does not compete with Ubuntu in that area.

If this is your first venture into Linux, then I would go with Ubuntu since you have already tried it and it seemed to work fine for you. At the end of the day both are Linux both use Gnome, both do XYZ and 123 just fine.

I have used Eu on many different Linux distros, it almost always works. That said, I like Ultimate 2.8 better than any I've tried before, because of all the extra programs and such you get automatically (instead of having to install them one at a time).

Mint is another good one: http://www.linuxmint.com/

Both of these seem to work better (on my computers) than Ubuntu.

I use Xubuntu. It is very "lightweight"; the window manager is fast, and not overbearing. have had zero problems with it. I just upgraded to v10.10 over the Internet, again with zero problems. Software updates occur daily.

I would recommend Xubuntu for a first exposure to *nix. HTH

En: It would be nice if Barry Kauler entered the ranks of lovers of euphoria and it would become the language settings Puppy linux

Ru: Было бы замечательно, если бы Барри Каулер вошёл в состав любителей Эйфории и она стала бы языком конфигурирывания Puppy линукс

Once again I appeal to the gurus of euphoria: Puppy linux in this ranking at the 4-th place in the world! If we combine the simplicity of (read as a beauty) and the power of the two projects have received a fantastic thing ... The fact that all the settings are not written professionally (in terms of ergonomics) in the GTK-scripts
