We use CentOS (currently ver 6.4), which in my opinion is a lot less buggy
than fedora (and I really hate the new GNOME 3 that the new fedora versions made
as default desktop). So far I think we have basically everything we ever needed
working within CentOS (Including virtualbox for windows/office work). In most
cases yum will let you install packages by just one line of command. But in a
few occasions I did have to find some libraries that is not even supplied in one
of the extended repertoires. Nvidia cards should work fine in all redhat-like
systems.
Hello All-
I have used a trusty box
running fedora core 3 for nearly a decade and I am (finally) upgrading to a new
workstation. In lieu of Nat's recent mention of new linux installers of phenix,
I thought I would try to get a consensus on what linux flavor(s), I should
consider installing on my new box. It will be used with emphasis on typical
crystallography software including 3D graphics (3 GB NVIDIA Quadro K4000 card).
If anyone would like to make a suggestion for an OS, I thank you in advance.
Pointers to a web review can work too.
Best-
Todd
