I am choosing a Linux distribution for a production Haskell project and would would normally just go with Debian
I think Debian (I use Ubuntu, which inherits its packages) just got a lot better. I upgraded to 10.4 Lucid, and now I have ghc 6.12.1 and a lot of libraries from the distribution. My main reason for using Ubuntu is that it does relatively frequent and stable releases, good sized package repository, and a large user base. This way, there are a zillion other users with the exact same set of packages, and any problem you encounter is very likely to have been encountered (and solved) by somebody else already. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
