At work, we use Debian "stable" exclusively for our Linux installs
just because it seems to be the most sane/stable, but we're not
chasing commercial software vendors and it's all server-side stuff, so
no UI feature envy by users or anything of the sort.
For the *BSDers in the crowd who might be forced to support Linux, I
can't personally recommend it but this seems very promising:
http://www.crux.nu/
Looks like BSD-style initscripts, ports, everything you'd expect
except the kernel and GNU utils everywhere.
Speaking of which, anyone using plan9ports on Darwin (sans Aqua)? My
wife's iBook just went Tango Uniform (looks like the logic board
issue, even though I *thought* the serial # is out of range) and now
I'm hunting for HFS+ support....
