We use gentoo.  Many people would not go that route, but we use that on our
servers because when we are ready to update it, we can do so with less pain
than with RHL/Fedora and SuSE, etc.  The updates of the latter usually go
okay, but there comes the time when we need to change major releases and
that
should be done with a clean reinstall.

Now, with * you don't really need to do any changing as it will just sit
there
and work for the most part.  However, since we have gentoo in many of our
systems, we just stick with that.

The ports in gentoo stay pretty current and it's worked fine for us.  YMMV,
and as I said above, gentoo is probably not the route for many who have
little
linux experience.
