It only difference is how they package them and what comes with it. of course software installation could be exteremly with centain distro.
Personally I've tried tons of distros and I love gentoo.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Recommended distro to run Backuppc on
Hey everyone,
I am currently in the process of rebuilding my backuppc machine to give it some extra grunt. I was hoping to get peoples thoughts on what linux distros are in use out there and who recommends what? The new platform will be a dual core AMD Athlon64 running on a Nforce4 motherboard. I have tried Fedora core 5 (Core 4 doesn't have the right drivers for my motherboard) and it's only in test 2 at the momnt and runs like a pig, I have trid the free mandriva and it runs very nice, but I have trouble trying to vnc to it (I think there is some IPSec rule hidden from me in it.... I was thinking of trying Ubuntu.... What is everyone out there using for this?
Regards,
Jamie Myers
