Personally I think that Tao Linux (http://taolinux.org/) is better
set-up than Whitebox.

Anyway, for me, RedHat Enterprise Linux & it's 'rebuild' clones are the
best development target to aim for - this is the stable environment (5
years) that people like from 7.3, brought up to date & supported by
hardware manufacturers, software developers & hence corporates.

I'm running 0.7.1 on RHEL3 without any problems so far :)
