Greg, i'm using ubuntu 18 in production with 2 dotnet core apps. in fact i just switched from windows/.netframework/mvc5 to dotnet-core on linux as the base image for ubuntu is ~2gig vs 20-25gig for windows (after you run windows updates eleventy billion times)
one piece of software i recommend is vagrant: choco install vagrant then after installed: vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64 vagrant up 3 lines to get an ubuntu VM up and running (yes i know you can 'install' ubuntu on windows10 now via the store but that is a different matter) On Tue, Oct 8, 2019 at 2:06 PM Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> wrote: > > A good place to start is probably the list on this page - >> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/linux-prerequisites?tabs=netcore30#supported-linux-versions >> I've used the Ubuntu distributions a bit. >> > > Thanks, that's a good list that I missed.
