Mageia is the best spin (it used to be redhat v5-based), but is not as stress-tested as others, and has (slightly) less support than you&#x27;d find for Fedora&#x2F;Red Hat&#x2F;SuSE.<p>Just run Redhat or Ubuntu. You are looking for a &quot;just works&quot; experience, so stick with the binary sandbox those distros give you. You can even <i>pay them money</i> in order to get the better support experience you definitely need.<p>If anyone tells you to switch to something different, know it will require you to hand-tweak scary text files. if that sounds fun, dive in. Otherwise, run away screaming. You want a stable (read: long-term support) release of software.
