I know this is a bit OT but, if I remember correctly, Kano is partial to RedHat? CK is 100% Linux but I don't remember seeing him ever post a flavor preference. Does Fedora qualify in Kano's book as "suitable" RedHat Distro. Is it a reasonable place for a first time foray into actual Linux distro's. I tried Ubuntu and just did not like the look, layout, etc... to go further. Need to find a Flavor that strikes a chord.

I use Debian for servers exclusively and a mixture of Ubuntu and Arch for desktops/laptops, though lately I've used Arch very little for convenience but I still like it.

FWIW...when I gave up WInbloze last year I went with Ubuntu, and the 12LTS version. I upgraded to the 16.04LTS a couple of months ago, and it works fine for me...and I run a lot of rather high-end data recovery and similar apps. I've found everything I need that runs under it, and only had one driver issue that was rather easily fixed. I chose this flavor mostly because the majority of the folks I "commiserate" with use it. It's a matter of preference, as you said. Good luck.

I used to be partial to it - then Fedora after RedHat 9 (long ago) Pretty much I only use it for my desktop now coz it's a pain in the ass to rebuild it from scratch to switch it to Ubuntu. Everything else I now use Ubuntu LTS (14 or 16) Fedora was good while cutting edge udpates were necessary. That's long been a thing of the past now however, and stability is my main concern for servers. Ubuntu LTS suits that well.

I have used the Linux "Mint" releases in the past. Many may frown because it is so close in layout to Windows. Anyway, I have enjoyed it when I have used it. No steep learning curve either. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Well,I just got back fro MicroCenter with the missing pieces of hardware to complete a PC build I started a year ago. I bought 3 USB Drives and a 50 cake of 16X DVD-R as well. Maybe that will be enough to find a flavor I'm looking for. I think part of what I didn't like in Ubuntu was the Toolbar on the Left vertical side. Changing Themes would probably help but for a newbie it gets REAL with a QUICKNESS NOW.

You can put the launcher on the bottom in 16.04LTS. Here's the link: http://www.linuxubuntu.org/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-the-bottom-in-ubuntu-16-04/You can't do it, though, in earlier versions (to my understanding...I tried). EDIT: That is, move the launcher to another place. Earlier versions were on the bottom anyway. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Here is a piece of my mind regarding the A7 so far.
All units perform above expectations.
Average is 6.5 to 7 TH per miner.
Really love them.
Need to re-work the air flow and ventilation in order to switch on all units.
Contacted Canaan about only one issue which is that i found a loose screw inside a unit before switching on. They wanted the code of the unit. Looking forward to their reply.
Worth every penny I paid but I really want to know how it fares against the R4 in terms of reliability and heat.
Whoever has both units, please share your experience.

I used to have an Avalon6 before and I'm this friday or next monday receiving a R4. I know it's not the same but I'll have at least some kind of reference point. As for the best home miner so far I must say that I miss my Antminer S2 ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
