Re: looking to document a decent (fedora) linux development environment

Is there a particular reason to specify fedora?

I have one Centos machine (poor man's fedora?) and my experience is that it
is more work to maintain than machines I have running debian family distros
(Bunsen, Mint, Ubuntu), though I'll admit some of that is familiarity. The
SELinux stuff on the Centos machine has been a bit annoying, in particular,
and my understanding is that there is some debate as to its merit. I share
admin of the Centos machine with uOttawa folk, so choice was external to me.
