[GRASSLIST:9718] Re: which linux distribution?

[Carlos "Guâno" Grohmann]

If you are already used to Debian, but want something more up-to-date,
I recommend you try Ubuntu (http://ubuntulinux.org/). It is Debian
based, and very good. Just don't forget to check on the Ubuntu wiki
what you need to install in order to be able to compile stuff.
