From my personal experience: it works with Debian and Ubuntu, I never
tried anything else. But you can probably use any GNU/Linux distribution
you prefer. ptxdist depends on very few host packages every modern
GNU/Linux distribution should provide. There are even people using
ptxdist on BSD based operating systems like Max OS X. Try what you like,
if you experience any problems due to your chosen distro, report.

I use Arch and can't recommend it, because I think I am the first guy
who detect issues with newer versions, like toolchain build with
make 4.0 and the changed sed version string.

These things are all well fixed now. For me, it's good to using
newer software, so ptxdist can prepare to the upcomming changes.

For Debian and Ubuntu, I would only use the stable branch of debian or
Ubuntu LTS [0] version. Then you have _maybe_ no issues if you using a older
ptxdist or toolchain version. But then it's the question if you really
want to use a older ptxdist or toolchain version.

Hi,

I use Ubuntu 14.04, which works fine with newer versions of ptxdist
and toolchains, however if you want older ones you will probably need
to hack around a bit. To get eg. 1.99.3 working on Ubuntu 14.04 you
need to downgrade some packages and other goodies. I would recommend
to use 12.04 for something like that. I use a virtual machine with
12.04 for the older releases.
