Hi Vincent,

Take your expected lifecycle times into consideration. What will be more important: newest tools and compiler versions or stability/robustness? For controls, people often prefer the "slower" series (Debian/Ubuntu-LTS, RHEL/Alma) over the "faster" ones (Ubuntu, Fedora).

Drama aside: in terms of EPICS support, there's not much difference between the RedHat and Debian families of distros.

Cheers,
~Ralph
