I have a spare Windows machine I want to put to better use. I want to turn it into a Haskell hacking box, and was wondering whether any particular *nix or BSD distribution is best (or worst) suited for this. Any thoughts?
I'd like to advocate for Debian Sid. Probably not the best for random desktop uses, but you do get haskell packages within weeks of announce, and there are no freezes or release timelines to annoy you! PS: I've been running sid for >6mo now with no major system malfunctions - don't let the unstable codename scare you off. Then again, my /usr/local/bin/ghc is HEAD installed from source biweekly ..
