Is ubuntu 9.04 good choice for embedded linux application development?

Question

I want to change linux distro my Development(Host) Machine which I use for embedded development.

I cross-compile applications for many different processors. It is required for me to download different different libraries to evaluate their functionality/Performance/Stability on different devices , as well as on PC.

So Is ubuntu 9.04 a good choice for me?

Thanks, Sunny.

Answer 1

If you are using gcc or other source based compiler that runs on linux then I would say yes, you want a linux distro, and ubuntu is currently the most popular/best. I would try to avoid distro specific things, drive down the middle of the road and you should be able to use any distro equally well.
