Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

The reason why I'm asking is because there is a GCC 4.8 VxWorks toolchain (as of now, only for Linux) here. The goal of the toolchain is to allow teams to use the C++11 standard in their code and to bring robot code development to Linux. The project is currently officially supporting Ubuntu and Debian, but I have suggested that we also include Arch and Fedora users (as I'm most comfortable with those distributions). It seems like Red Hat-based, Ubuntu-based, and Arch-based distributions are the most popular.

Yea, Thats just because those are the only two distros I regularly use with familiarity. If anyone know how to package for rpm, arch, gentoo, etc... please let me know. Its not supposed to be Ubuntu only :)

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I use Debian for my workstation, and Arch for embedded projects.

I use Debian on my servers, and Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I use Fuduntu and Fedora on my laptop and Ubuntu on my desktop. I usually use GNOME 2 or 3 as my desktop environment.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

Does Fuduntu use the standard Fedora package conventions?

Over the years, I have used just about everything. Right now I use Mint 14 since it is much like Ubuntu without all the junk.

Our robot is using Ubuntu 11.10 server for vision stuff.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I use Ubuntu, RHEL, Mint and CentOS.

I've used just so many it would be silly to list them all. Somewhere I have Xenix and UnixWare on 5.25" floppies.

I still use a lot of Solaris even thought now it's all Oracled up :rolleyes:

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

We use RHEL at work, so I use CentOS at home on my dev-box-slash-server. There's no use in learning so many OS's individual commands, so I don't bother with Ubuntu.

If the Unix community would get off their butts and provide a better way for Virtualized Guests to access the raw graphics card power for CAD in a VM, maybe I'd make the full switch away from windows since I prefer to develop in Linux. Until then, I'll always have Windows for CAD, gaming, and the HTPC.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I typically use BackTrack 5 R3 (off of a USB drive) on just about every device I can. I also use Arch Linux ARM on a raspberry pi.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I use debian and ubuntu. I started using ubuntu in 2008 (8.04), and loved it, so I've stuck with it since. Unfortunately, I can't get used to the Unity or gnome 3 environment, so I've been using lxde/xfce/gnome 2 on my different computers.

Fedora w/ XFCE

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

It can install Fedora RPM packages but is missing many of dependency's found in the Fedora repository. If a dependency is missing I can always just look it up online and install it.

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

I've got Fedora on my laptop and desktop. Which reminds me, I've got to get Ubuntu 10.04 up somewhere for Android work...

Re: Which Linux distributions do you use?
 

Ubuntu 12.1. that is the software for our O Droid X board, our vision processor, for this year's robot.
