Best Linux Flavor for IoT
by davelady from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SHME)
Hello:
We are spinning up a project that will deploy hundreds of small little linux boxes to run some scanning code we have. I have to build a light weight infrastructure to be able to update the code (python) from an FTP site as needed. Each little box will have a SIM card for connectivity once deployed.
We're at the very beginning so I can pick any linux flavor I want. I typically work in CentOS because our web servers use WHM.
So I would pick CentOS for no reason. Any insights that suggest one flavor would be better than another for managing field deployed python apps at a distance connected via SIM cards?
