GNU/Linux
Haskell support on various Linux distributions. How to find Haskell applications and tools, contribute new packages, and get help for your distribution.
See also BSD, Windows and Mac OSX.
Mostly distributions should provide:
- GHC
- Core libraries
- Core development tools
- Cabal and cabal-install
Optionally they provide parts of the emerging Haskell Platform.
Arch Haskell

Debian GNU/Linux
Debian Gnu/Linux provides a good toolchain for Haskell development
- Libraries: The most important packages are available in the stable, testing and unstable trees.
- Applications:
- Mailing list: debian-haskell
- Wiki:
- IRC channel:
- Making new packages: .deb from .cabal is a fairly easy process.

Slackware Linux
The official Slackware Linux does not support Haskell at all. No packages are provided.
An unofficial Slackware repository for Haskell tools, library and programs can be found at this address:
This repository works with slapt-get and swaret.
The SlackBuild scripts can be found at the following address:
http://gorgias.mine.nu/repos/slackBuild/
The scripts can be retrieved via darcs:

Ubuntu
This is pretty much the same as Debian, providing you add the 'universe' and/or 'multiverse' repositories, which import Debian packages and recompile them to match Ubuntu dependencies. The exact versions of packages may be different from Debian, but they tend to be ahead of Debian stable (sometimes by a long way).
