What is the best version of Linux for programming?
I am an amateur game developer and am looking at Linux as an alternative to Windows. I am using Microsoft Visual C++, but can run it using WINE (I think). A friend recommended trying Linux, because it was a powerful platform. From my research, Ubuntu looks nice. Please only answer if you use Linux!
Plz try that and let me know how it works, and if you dont have v. 6.04, get it from the website

I install 'Red Hat Linux' in one of my computer, and use borland 'Kylix' as my programming tools there (pascal based), just for test my software 'mobility' , from Windows to Linux.
I don't know if the other Linux is good for my 'Kylix' cause i will feel happy if Linux finally recognized all my hardware
I have UBuntu disc, just didn't have a chance to install and use it to test my 'Kylix' there.
