I want to ask what kind of experiencies do you has in the

architectures) for metheorological applications and wich one of the
distros do you recommend me.
We use Gentoo at SiCortex because we have to build from sources anyway
for our MIPS architecture processors, because Gentoo makes it straight-
forward to express dependencies among packages, and because the
ability to control, for example, compiler switches per-package is
quite useful.
For X86 archtectures, it actually makes a very noticable performance
change (30%?) to use build switches that are appropriate for your
machines, rather than the generic switches chosen by Red Had or
Novell.
