RE: Which Linux is best on lab top

["Vo, Anh \(US SSA\)" <Anh.Vo@baesystems.com>]

Thank you all for your great advice.

My implied and top requirements are good Ada support. Debian is clearly
better than Ubuntu in this area. Therefore, combined with your comments,
I have decided to go with Debian. By the way, my labtop is a Toshiba
A135-S4487. I hope Debian has no problem to support this hardware.

Thanks.  I wouldn't know, since I use neither GNOME nor KDE :) I
usually only have emacs and galeon full-screen on IceWM.
