Some admins swear by binary packages. Some admins swear by source. Some admins swear by debian. Some admins swear by RedHat. Other swear at Linux and swear by *BSD. Some, or so it's rumored, swear by various M$ products. For zope I tend to install from source, including any additional products/python modules I need. That doesn't mean it's right, but it's been the easiest to support. I'd say the most common platform that zope is deployed on is linux, but that's just speculation.

Without starting any arguments, I would like to find out what sort of distributions are popular for deploying zope servers. I would like to use a common distribution like Redhat, but getting binary packages for common DA's is painfully obtuse. I have used the windows packages with the binary ODBC DA an the install went great, the downside is, well, windows. I won't deploy a production server with compilers on it. Some thing like Gentoo with it's build-from-source design and ability to do package management would be great, But zope isn't well supported- I would still have to assemble packages myself or build various binary parts by hand.
What is the most common deployment in zope production systems?
