Operating Systems Linux is there a guide for linux distros? Post 302300891 by woofie on Wednesday 25th of March 2009 10:06:37 AM

I would suggest Distrowatch like the other 2 post.

But don't forget most Linux distro's are free. So download the most popular and if you don't like it, try the next on the list. Could take a few times until you find one you like. It's personal preference most the time for what people use.

NAME
spectool - manual page for spectool v1.0.10rpmdev1 SYNOPSIS
spectool [<options>] <specfile> DESCRIPTION
Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles. If you experience problems with specific specfiles, try to run rpmbuild --nobuild --nodeps <specfile> on the file which might give a clue why spectool fails on a file (ignore anything about missing sources or patches). The plan is to catch errors like this in spectool itself and warn the user about it in the future. OPTIONS
