Re: What's the best Linux to use now days?

Yeah I second this notion.  It is just about impossible for comedi not to
compile and install on any real Linux distro.  I could imagine some
specialty distro that uses unorthodox C libraries or something for custom
purposes might be tricky to get to work with comedi, but any of the larger
mainstream distros will certainly work.  Some of the distros, such as
Debian, even offer comedi packages (so you don't even have to compile a
thing if you don't want to).

In the end if you get the source off the comedi.org site you will 99.999%
of the time be able to install it on any recent distro!

The distro is unimporant, basically.... comedi is comedi and linux is
linux and the two work together well.  :)
