I think archlinux is a good choice. Arch is much more stable than ubuntu, at least in my opinion. And arch has the most powerful wiki than all of the other distribution. If you install yaourt, you could easily compile ALPS with the simple command: yaourt alps. At 2013-03-18 19:00:05,comp-phys-alps-users-request@lists.phys.ethz.ch wrote:

Hi,all

We have a problem of choosing Linux operating system for our server. We want a system in which ALPS can work well and stably, but Ubuntu 12.04 is not very stable on our server. So, please give us a little advice that which kind of Linux system is suitable for ALPS?

ALPS should work on all recent Linux versions.
