I am looking for a Linux flavour suggestion from you guys. I have checked Ubuntu and Fedora and both looks promising. Which one I should go for or is there a better one? Following will be my usage

1. Programming (mostly C++).
2. Running Windows (for visual studio and .NET) using Sun Virtual Box.
3. Using internet through a wireless router.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Just try Ubuntu (perhaps from a LiveCD) and see what you think. It will very likely suit your needs just fine, and there's no reason "shopping around" for the perfect distro before you even know how to differentiate them.

I'm assuming now that you don't have a lot of previous Linux experience, feel free to edit your question to indicate otherwise of course.

Answer 2

I recommend Vanilla with M&Ms flavour
