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

Hi!

I've tested it with SuSE and with Debian. With both there were no 
problems. I liked how SuSe instantly integrated the comedi drivers into 
the bootup process. Actually SuSE seems to use simply brute force: all 
usb kernel modules are loaded and then the error msgs are analysed. But 
it worked pretty fine. With Debian there are also no problem but you 
have to install your install script in /etc/init.d to load the drivers.
