What is the best linux distro for web development?

Q. Hi, i'm beginning to use linux and was just wondering what the best linux distro for web developing is.

A. Technically there is no distro specifically designed for web development. You could pick whatever distribution you are comfortable with and then just download the tools used for web development to that Distro. That's one of the best things I like about Linux is its power and its ability to be customized. It really comes down to personal preference.

What was the linux distro that specialized in gaming/geared towards gamers?
Q. I cannot remember what the distro was called, i read about on digg during the past year but cannot find anything about it. If someone knows of the linux distro for gaming please tell me, otherwise just list the distros which best support gaming. One of my friends asked about it and I said I'd find it for him.

A. You might be thinking of Games Knoppix, which is a variant of Knoppix. Here's a URL if you want to check:
http://www.games-knoppix.org/

Otherwise, I'd recommend you simply install one of the Debian Linux distros, such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and then just look on the Debian web site for the lists of packages and look under games. You could then install the ones you wanted to look at. Good luck.

Are you suppose to use different linux distros if you have different purposes?
Q. Or can all linux distro do almost the same if you know the terminal command or scripts? For example if i wanted to do some penetration test with back track but i want to surf the wow anonymously with incognito? Do i have to do them seperately or can i kinda combine them together in one.

A. Terminal commands in almost all Linux distributions are the same commands. Penetration Testing (Forensic) Linux distributions do not make a very good desktop, for everyday use. It doesn't make very much sense to do it on your own hard drive. In most Linux distributions, I believe in the package management program you can find anonymous browsing software to install. And yes one Linux in general can be over bloated with software to your desire.
