[Discuss-gnuradio] Which LinuxOS to use?-->1.Unbuntu, Fedora, Mandrake, FreeBSD

[Quenton Bonds]

Hello everyone!
I am new to the GNU world.

I am an intern at NASA AIMES and we are about to run three brand new 
SDRs.  Basically we are trying to use some Linux laptops with the USRP's 
for SRD research.

I have less than two months to get this project going, and we just got 
three brand new Laptops and USRP kits yesterday.  

My Question:  What Linux operating system seems to work the _BEST_ with 
GNU USRP, mainly in reference to system failure, and having previously 
defined libraries/classes/modules previously installed? 
Right now we are going with UBUNTU (per my superiors:)-)but for some 
reason I would like to use Fedora. 
What do you think?

Due to the limited time I am trying to save myself as much heart ache as 
possible, therefore any advice is welcomed and greatly appreciated, 
especially in choosing an operating system.
