[Serusers] Best platform for SER --->please suggest some thing

[sip]

We're big Redhat Enterprise fans, but, of course, don't require the paid
support from RH. CentOS IS Redhate Enterprise repackaged to conform to the
GPL. I've some old college friends who work for Redhat, so if there are
drivers that need working on or tinkering that needs to be done, I can always
hit them up in exchange for food and drink. ;) 

We used to use Fedora, but we've had more than a few.... issues. It's designed
to be absolute leading edge stuff, which often leaves room for a lot of bugs
-- something we can't afford to have in a production environment (okay for a
desktop, perhaps; not so great for a machine hosting several thousand users).
