[orca-list] which linux distro

[Michael Weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

Hi!

Which Linux distro which is accessible with Orca to use these days?

i ask because I try to monitor the progress of Linux.

Currently I am having a problem booting into any live Linux CD or DVD 
using my HP laptop and I don't have anyone with Sight around to help or 
anyone who is interested in Linux with Sight. My family are not exactly 
Linux posative with me or maybe just very pro Windows use.

This means that currently I can only sit on the sidelines so to speak 
and watch the progress of Linux development until I am certain i can 
make the switch.

I have used Ubuntu for a long period of time, used Open Solaris briefly, 
did have a look at Fedora 21 I think briefly but certainly found that 
too advanced for installing the software i needed and briefly used Sonar 
when it was based on Manjaro.

Currently if i were to do duel boot Linux and Windows or make a switch 
to Linux, i am not clear these days as to what to go for with the 
position of distros like Ubuntu and with Sonar being either based on 
another distro or even development with it.
