I'm sorry to re-hash this issue, but I just wanted to know what the
present general consensus is on linux flavors. I teach a
crystallography class every 2 years, and I have a small cluster of
computers running fedora, but the deal is that by the time I get around
to my class, fedora has routinely gone up at least 2 levels since my
last upgrade, meaning that the latest software and things are difficult
at best to load on.
I'm OK with any linux, I just want one that will be able to run the
majority (if not all) of the typical crystallography packages (cns,
ccp4, coot, etc...). I also would like one that works well with nfs and
local file sharing. I can upgrade fedora, no problem, but I thought I
may branch out if others think there are better flavors out there.
Thanks so much
Dave Roberts
