   You probably don't have the coreutils package installed, and if it doesn't   
   come with it, gcc.

   Sorry, no experience with that. But I would think they will fix that issue by   
   April. ;)

   Have you really tried most variants? Theres so many out there I don't even   
   want to try them all.   
      
   I'm a fan of Archlinux. So, if you want to try a GUI version of it you can   
   take a look at Manjaro. It's probably more "bleeding edge" than any debian   
   based distro. I've used this for over 5 years and never had to reinstall the   
   whole damn system, like I had to do with Debian based crap in the past   
   (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc).   
      
   Sorry, Debian based stuff got on my bad side early years ago. However I   
   commend Ubuntu on their work to switch Windows users over and trying to make   
   it as easy as possible.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
