Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, accept no substitute. Maybe use a Ubuntu 10.10.2 desktop to manage them, it's easy to use. (11.04 is still unstable, IMO.)

It actually all depends on what packages you plan on running. Then cross reference that against what your options are, I think you'll run out of options quickly, TBH.

And you just need putty on the windows side. But, if you have to, all of them can run x-windows generally these days. I just find Ubuntu to be the easiest, plus their packaging system is the best, being Debian under the covers.

Please note, these are opinions, and I'm entitled to my informed opinion.

A positive evolutionary trait usually provides the mutated with a better survival rate, or attracts a better mate, or gives an advantage in an most circumstances. Yet even the most successful of the autistic usually have a lower survival rate, a worse chance at attracting a quality mate, and their advantages are in very focused circumstances. I would not say that it fits with the standards of evolution. Only the most successful are going to survive, of course, but those instances are rare, while the rest are much less successful, leading to a realistic evolutionary dead end. Excellent concentration abilities has it's price, especially if it involved memorizing pokedex's.

Of course, this assumes that autism is mostly nature and not nurture or environment, which is not proven yet either.

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
