Ubuntu and Debian don't aim the same kind of users. On both, there are many OCaml users and there is no reason why one would be worse for OCaml. However, maybe Ubuntu community is more active now as it is _the_ fast spreading linux distribution ! Make your choice for other reasons, like file systems (debian only supports ext2 ext3 and reiserfs when you install it, while ubuntu supports more FSs...) Well, maybe this mailing list is not the right place to ask such a question ;-) -- Philippe Wang mail (at) philippewang.info
