I have nothing but good stuff to say about Gentoo.  It's a bit different
from Red Hat... the package manager actually works, for starters. :-)

More importantly, the software release cycles are usually both timely
and sane.  Community support is generally knowledgeable and friendly. 
Debian makes a great choice too, but I find that Gentoo's community is
just a bit more focused and helpful.
