I think RedHat now Fedora would be a good choice. Commercial

to support that. And YellowDog is based on that as well. I guess we

a vote.
Let me ask the stupid question - given the diversity, why should we
even try to define 'linux'? Why not just have:
platforms darwin linux-fedora linux-yellowdog linux-debian
There would need to be a line drawn somewhere, there are well over a
hundred linux distros available.
