What are the 'best' Linux distros to run Gramps on? My tree will be 55,000+ persons so I'll be using the 2.x version(s) when they are released. Erik Jensen |

Erik, GRAMPS 2.0 will require GNOME 2.8 or higher to run. In order to reduce memory usage to handle larger databases, we needed a few features that GTK 2.4 and GNOME 2.8 offer. Distributions where we know GRAMPS 2.0 works well include (but are not limited to): 1) Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) and 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) 2) Debian unstable (SID) 3) Fedora Core 3 (and the Fedora Core 4 test releases) The latest release from Mandriva (formerly Mandrake), Discovery 10.1) is a bit behind, but it has been reported that GRAMPS will run on this distribution. The upcoming 10.2 release should be better. Others that should work are: * Slackware with Dropline GNOME (but *not* on standard Slackware) * FreeBSD 5 I'm sure there are others, but these are ones with which I am familiar. I run Ubuntu and Fedora Core 3 myself. Don On Sun, 2005-04-24 at 11:01 -0700, Parrotia wrote: > What are the 'best' Linux distros to run Gramps on?

It used gramps for a short time only, but it worked :) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless |

I forgot SuSE. Since Novell has acquired SuSE their support for GNOME is top notch.
