What distro are you most familiar with? (and which supports your future applications) Does it have a convenient way to do a mass update?

Hello everyone! I am getting started on a cluster building project at my university. We just replaced all of our lab machines so I am going to be using the old machines to rebuild our cluster. The intention is for the system to be used for scientific computation. I am trying to decide on a linux distribution to use. Does it matter all that much? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Book suggestions would help too. I am waiting to receive Building Clustered Linux Systems<http://www.amazon.com/Building-Clustered-Linux-Systems-Robert/dp/0131448536/ref=sr_1_20?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347832213&sr=1-20&keywords=building+linux+clusters> by Robert W. Lucke<http://www.amazon.com/Robert-W.-Lucke/e/B001IQXRT6/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_20?qid=1347832213&sr=1-20> but my advisor for the project is concerned that it may be out of date for what we are doing. Please share your ideas. Thanks! -Jeffrey Rossiter
