Linux Mint 12 Lisa

I am not a fan of Mint. I prefer Ubuntu or Open SUSE.

I don't know if they have fixed it but the Linux native VICE runs into a buffer overflow issue with the SID emulation. So it's easier to install Wine and then run the windows version of VICE.
 
Might be fixed though....
 
Take a look at Open SUSE though. It's the free and Novell supported so you do get some Novell security features.

No I wouldn't say it's for tinkerers. Pure Debian is for tinkerers.

all nixes generally can be tinkered with. Just add source and sometimes it can be cooked without.

Depends what source. Sometimes if the source comes from a dodgy batch you can end up cooking a disaster

I like Open Suse.

Me too, been using it since SuSE 5.2 back in '98. It's also the only Linux I have ever bought in big box format, several times over the years.

 
I bought Mandrake as a big box version back in 2002. Loved that thing lol.
