RE: [gnome-love] Which Linux distribution

[Murray Cumming Comneon com]

If you want to contribute, then you will probably end up testing unstable
GNOME code with tools such as jhbuild and garnome. That works quite well,
but it is not always easy, so it might be a good idea to start with a distro
that is often used by other contributors, so that they can easily help you.
I think that most people use RedHat/Fedora or Debian, though that's a
simplification.

Subject: [gnome-love] Which Linux distribution


I'm a graduate student in CS who became interested in GNOME Accessibility,
especially as it relates to visually impaired people, as I researched a
paper for an Operating Systems course.  I would like to learn Linux in order
to contribute to GNOME Accessibility in the future.  Can someone advise me
on which Linux distribution I should obtain, and also any books or online
tutorials which would be helpful?  My knowledge of Unix is minimal.  Thanks,

Kathy Hodgson
