Flavor of Linux is inconsequential to learning Perl. So long as it is Perl5 you should be good to go. That said, my favorite flavor of the week is Linux Mint. I like the fact that things just work under Mint. Mint is a Debian descendant like Ubuntu is. If I had my personal laptop handy I'd tell you the version running on it, but on my desktop which runs straight up Debian runs 5.10.1 Perl. My laptop runs a much newer version of Mint so I cannot imagine the Perl is going to be of an earlier version.

My laptop is Minty Fresh! :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
