   I did run Suse for a while back in the late 80's or early 90's but got annoyed   
   with all the German in the docs, help files etc when I was using UK and   
   English in the locate settings etc.   
      
   May be time to revisit thanks for the recommendation.   
      
   Will want to stick to regular Linux distros and keep clear from BSD or   
   variants.  Have enough grief trying to use my Mac Pro using OSX 10.11 and   
   getting to compile a system using Gcc !   
      
   Problem with that is I have not found a book that covers in detail using it to   
   program outside the xcode system.  At best its a page or two that is very   
   short on information.
