subject: Best Linux distro for usage with MBSE

Hello Dave!

The original author of MBSE, Michiel Broek, developed it under Slackware 
Linux. I, as the current primary maintainer, also do most of my work on it 
under Slackware.  I do make an effort to diagnose and fix installation issues 
under any distribution available to me.  I recently fixed a SETUP.sh issue 
under Ubuntu 12.04+, caused by the maintainers of that distro no longer 
creating an admin group on new installs.  I'm currently researching a reported 
issue installing on CentOS 7, which I suspect is caused by missing 
dependencies.

Any issues anyone encounters with installation of MBSE should be reported here 
or via netmail/email, with as much information as possible regarding the 
distribution in use, version used, etc.  The SETUP.log that SETUP.sh creates 
is an excellent resource on what took place and what errors occurred.  If at 
all possible, the SETUP.log should be included in the bug report message, or 
attached to the netmail/email bug report.

Regards,

Andrew
