I am thinking of moving to linux (Debian seemed to suite me) from Windows. I have used lubuntu and and ubuntu somewhat before, but their use has been very limited.
My main use would be to do statistical programming on R and Python. Does Debian have all the CRAN packages I can install on Windows? What about packages on Python? Does Debian suite me at all or should I look elsewhere?
I would use Linux mint as its Ubuntu based and is user friendly. Python and R should both be in the repos.
