I would say this one is best sabayon.org – Taylor Bioniks Dec 21 '12 at 8:24
This doesn't seem to be much popular .. If developers are stuck they may not find a way out .. – Sachin Prasad 웃 Dec 21 '12 at 8:26
it really depends what development (python, java, c, ruby, web,...) your are doing... – Private Dec 21 '12 at 8:54
the reason I recommend sabayon is because it is source based and has a lot of developer tools it's basically a fancy version of gentoo that is much easier to use. one thing why not just use Ubuntu or Linux Mint? – Taylor Bioniks Dec 21 '12 at 9:02
