Simon, any distribution should work fine, however we are building scripts for deploying dependencies automatically as part or work on constructing Galaxy VMs for "cloud" computing, and our first target is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, which already has many things packaged as part of "BioLinux". Leveraging this might save you some time, although we hope to make these scripts portable to other distributions eventually.

Hi.
We have a new server and are planning to dedicate it exclusively to Galaxy. We've previously set up galaxy on OS X, and Ubuntu.
I'm wondering if you guys have a preferred linux distribution that you know works well for galaxy. We'd like to spend as little time configuring the dependencies as possible (we already spent a while getting things working in os x), so any advice on the most streamlined distribution (from galaxy's perspective) would be appreciated.
Regards,
Simon
