<br>For enterprise use, I'd say Red Hat hands down. For non-profit/hobbyist<br>use, I'd say it's almost a toss-up between CentOS and Gentoo, but it all<br>depends on exactly what you are going to do with it.</blockquote>
</div><br>Gentoo scares a lot of people because the install process is so involved... You have to, like, read a manual, and follow instructions, and everything. Yeah, it's a pain, and because it compiles from source the initial install can be very time consuming on a slower machine, but once you've got your system completely installed, nothing I've tried is nearly as good as Gentoo is. It's flexible, stable, easy to maintain, and powerful. And I find the community support on Gentoo Forums to be second to none. (at least, none that aren't paid for, and better than a few that are!)
