Of the distros that I have used I have been most impressed with  
Gentoo.  I worked at Novell for a couple of years so I got to work  
with SuSE and enjoyed that one also.  A couple good questions that  
need to be asked are:  Will there be a dedicated Linux admin on site?  
and, What flavor does that Linux admin like best.  Linux is Linux,  
just like ice cream is ice cream.  The different flavors just suit  
different tastes.
