I run Redhat 6.0 on my SS2 - and before you all try to root it, yes, it
is only loosely RH6.0 now.  It's had *lots* of updates applied :-)

But I can certainly recommend Debian.  Much easier to admin and keep up
to date than Redhat.  If I'd known more about Debian when I set the
machine up a year ago I'd have used that.
