See http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/Distributions for some descriptions
of the various distributions.

Personally, I use SUSE because of the superior installation, packaging
and management tools.  I have had a lot of issues with Ubuntu and
Debian.  Forget about Fedora unless you want to build your own kernel
and packages.
