i want to do a job as "OOAD and C++ expert on Linux platform". i know that for C++ distro does not matter but what about getting a job as a developer/programmer on Linux platform ?
In INDIA,(except for Windows), most job ads require "C++ with Linux/UNIX" (i notice, Linux is much higher in requirement). so which distro will be better for getting that type of job ?

which distro for getting a job ?
Re: which distro for getting a job ?
It should not matter, but a distribution such as Debian would be a good choice because it uses mostly standard upstream packages. Same for Gentoo, etc. A few distributions (especially the commercial ones, except Red Hat I suppose) use modified software extensively. And for your job requirement, having advanced skills in GNU/Linux will not be required.arnuld_aqua wrote:i want to do a job as "OOAD and C++ expert on Linux platform". i know that for C++ distro does not matter but what about getting a job as a developer/programmer on Linux platform ?

I would suggest learning two distros. I agree that Debian should be one of them because it is widely used for servers. And is a good clean distro without a lot of added fluff.
I would also suggest that you would benefit from learning Fedora/RHEL simply because it has quite a bit of mind share among corporations and IT departments. If I am not mistaken, there are also formal certifications a person can study and apply for in both Linux in general and RHEL in particular. Just my two cents worth.

Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with catsup.
