Its also worth looking at Arch Linux - they have a rolling release and are<br>
therefore<br>
very up to date and have from first glance a very good haskell integration.<br>
The community<br>
is excellent as well.<br>

I switched back to debian squeeze however, because of its stability - update<br>
seldomly cause trouble.<br>
With the rolling release u need to create urself a way to roll back in case<br>
of problems.<br>
On debian I'm using cabal to get the libraries I need, without problems so<br>
far.<br>

I had Arch on here, but at some point, a kernel upgrade caused a major regression. All my important data was backed up, so I nuked Arch and tried Ubuntu (with a 6+ month old kernel). It worked. I'd rather be using Arch, but this hardware imposes limitations.</div>
