I've had good experiences with Slackware. But then again, I like to
tinker with things, and "do it myself". If you're not that kind of guy,
stick to RedHat or Debian. I would recommend RedHat over Debian because
the Debian package tools have the worst UI design I've ever been
unfortunate enough to witness. Technically speaking, Debian has great
package management, but then again, so does RedHat.
