and if someone is good in PHP very well mail me with the mail id . and we can work out the game …a bit
I’d say if it’s Ubuntu you’re using now and Ubuntu that you know then continue to use Ubuntu.
The different distros will likely support all the software you’ll require for the game. Whether that be a web server (Apache, Nginx, lighttpd), database server (MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, CouchDB) or programming libs (PHP, Python, Ruby) so it shouldn’t matter what you use.
So unless you have specific requirements use what you know and focus more on building the game.
If you have any further concerns about using Ubuntu do say though and maybe we can find something better suited.
