Hi Matloob, <div>Others should contribute their experiences as well but for the Galaxy VM and cloud, we use Ubuntu 10.04. Also, to automate the machine setup, we have a scripts that perform all of the required setup steps; the scripts are usable by anyone for a range of machines and are available here: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/">https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/</a></div>

<p><font size="2">Hello Galaxy Users<br>
<br>
We are anticipating setting up a local instance of Galaxy and wondering what is the most popular (or best) flavour of Linux people out there using.<br>
<br>
I wonder which OS on UseGalaxy.org has been used. Thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
