Other...
I voted "Other" - because the question was about my favorite Linux distro and I, as "simple, ordinary user", like best
Arch and
sidux. These are flavors present on my desktops, USB-keys and laptop. I like them a lot because of their speed (both), stability (both - if you know what you are doing!) and flexibility (Arch!)...
...and I'm relatively new to Linux (I have used it for 1,5 year only but use it exclusively and install it for whole my family
).
But if you start with Linux on your own (without any family and/or friends support) I would recommend PCLinuxOS or Ubuntu for a start of learning process
.
Wishing everybody nice day,

arch::revisionbunches
Arch::RevisionBunches(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Arch::RevisionBunches(3pm)
NAME
Arch::RevisionBunches - manage bunches of related revisions
SYNOPSIS
use Arch::RevisionBunches;
use Arch::Tree;
my $rb = Arch::RevisionBunches->new;
my $tree = Arch::Tree->new(".", own_logs => 1);
$rb->add_revision_descs($tree->get_history_revision_descs);
$rb->rebunch(25); # the default is 50
foreach my $bunch ($rb->get) {
print "$bunch->{version}
";
print " $_->{name} $_->{summary}
"
foreach @{$bunch->{revision_descs}};
}
foreach my $bunch ($rb->reverse_revision_descs->rebunch(30)) {
print $bunch->{name1};
print " .. $bunch->{name2}" if $bunch->{name2};
print " ($bunch->{daysago1}";
print " .. $bunch->{daysago2}" if $bunch->{name2};
print " days ago)
";
}
DESCRIPTION
This class helps front-ends to group revisions. Such grouping is essential when, for example, the version to be shown contains thousands of
revisions. The front-end may decide to show expandable bunches of 100 revisions each.
There is a support for revision descriptions (summary, date, creator, email, and in some cases associated the file name and/or the
associated version). There is a constraint by convention, one bunch may only contain revisions of the same version, and the ones
associated with the same file if applicable. It is possible to define an order of versions. It is possible to recreate bunches (rebunch)
using a different number of revisions. The constraint defines the actual number of revisions in different bunches, it is not guaranteed to
be the same.
METHODS
The following methods are available:
new, init, add_revision_descs, versions, rebunch, get, clear, reverse_revision_descs, versions, filepaths.
new [%args]
Construct Arch::RevisionBunches object.
The %args are passed to init method.
init [%args]
The %args keys may be bunch_size (to use as the default bunch size instead of 50), max_sumlen (maximal summary length to keep including
trailing ellipsis, must be greater than 5), version (if set, then all revisions are assumed to be of one version, otherwise multiple
versions are assumed), final_revision and final_filepath (the final revision and filepath for which the revision bunches are
constructed). These last two %args keys are not really used yet.
add_revision_descs [%constant_fields]
Add revision descriptions that is arrayref of hashes. See other classes that return such revision descriptions. If the %constant_fields
is given, then add these to all revision descriptions (rarely needed).
Return the object, this enables chaining of get or rebunch method call.
rebunch [bunch_size]
Group newly added revisions if no bunch_size is specified. Otherwise regroup all revisions using a given bunch_size. The default bunch
size may be specified in the constructor.
Return the same get does.
get Return bunches that is arrayref in scalar context, array in list context.
Each bunch is hashref with keys:
revision_descs
name1 daysago1 time1 tz1
name2 daysago2 time2 tz2
size
num_creators
num_other_creators
main_creator
main_email
creator
name
date
summary
and optionally "version", "is_missing" and "filepath" if applicable.
This method implicitly calls rebunch with no parameter if new revision descriptions were added that are not bunched yet.
clear
Clear all bunches and their revision descriptions.
reverse_revision_descs
Effectivelly empty all revision descriptions (both old and new) and readd them in the reverse order.
Return the object, this enables chaining of get or rebunch method call.
versions
Return distinct versions participated in all bunches. Return empty arrayref if not applicable, i.e. if version is given in the
constructor.
filepaths
Return distinct filepaths participated in all bunches. Return empty arrayref if not applicable, i.e. if revision descriptions have no
filepath.

Waiting for your reports.
