i want to change from winXP to linux, soon (hardware: intel P4 standard pc).  not beeing an expert, i'm not shure which Linux-distribution is the optimum regarding octave, that means: latest version, octave forge, availability of rpm's (eg 2.9.3-devel.-version) etc. i simply wan't to minmize all that compilation / make - problems, cause i'm totally unexperienced with that.
someone said, SUSE would be a bit weak regarding octave support.  would be Fedora or Debian be a better choice ?

thank for your help  - 
andreas n.
