[M3devel] OS for CM3

[Dragiša Durić]

There is no simple nor unique answer to this. I prefer Fedora, and I've
been using RedHat since 1996... Some people prefer RHEL, or CentOS if
they like it freer. Jumped of SLS then Slackware I've been using from
1993-1995, and never looked back.

Easy to administer and maintain, most of modern distros have GUI for
every admin task.
