Try Gentoo.  I have migrated everything to it.  I have it running on Dell 
PowerEdge's & Sun Sparc boxes _in_ an ISP environment.

Super easy to keep up with their portage system and it let's _you_ choose 
what to install...  You _have_ to compile your own kernel before booting to 
the box.  I was a RH freak, but this has turned my head when I was looking 
for someone actively supporting Spark architecture...

Gentoo motto, if it moves, compile it <G>  However, this has not been an issue.
