devs use ubuntu and it seems to be the one mentioned the most.
Richard,
actually to say that dragora is not as easy to setup than ubuntu is an
error on my side
well actually dragora is a "KISS" keep it simple and stupid distro (its
a fundamental unix philosophy )
ubuntu on the other hand takes the click to install all GUI no brainier
approach to everything thus most those so called devs use it , we at
dragora work on UNIX principals set into foundation by hackers over a
course of history constituting more than 35 years and noob friendly
distros like the *buntus have destroyed the very thing we stand for ,
and as always YMMV (your mileage may vary )
if you have what it takes to be a tinkerer an hobbyist an inventor , we
welcome you with open hearts to the community but if you think we will
spoon feed you like the ubuntu people do please don't be delusional by
thinking so , for example ; no we will not flame you for asking what
"gnu make" is or what "gcc" is
but we will if you don't read the output of "man gcc " and "man make"
since reading documentation is an integral part of learning anything in
*nix land i suggest you read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix_Programming_Environment (i highly
recommend this book)
before you ask questions ( i think we all have read those before we
started appreciating UNIX) but if you are looking for an OS as just a
means to an end then i suggest you stay with *buntu or another noob
friendly distro ,cause we the true *nixers at dragora "live and die" for
and with our OS , if you have a similar attitude then we welcome you if
not , then i can't say for sure
sorry if this may have sounded like a rant (it isn't) its actually an
important reality check for new people
Happy hacking everyone :)
