I would add the VM disttribution "one step to gnutep" by Richard
Stonehouse. While not a proper "distro" it contains all what is needed
and is ready to be started up inside a VM. The goal there is to provide
an immediately usable system for developers and a reference for those
who fail to get a working gnustep.
The RPM packages used to make it are available too. The only minimal
complaint is that they are set up in FHS and not gnustep layout, which
removes a bit the best experience in the workspace. The rest is very
accurately done.
If you like a good experience by suing ready made packages, I'd suggest
either a RPM bad distro where you can use Richard's, or gentoo or
OpenBSD. Definitely not Debian ones: they work, but they are split up in
such a way that they remove much of the OpenStep concept.
If you are ready to compile from source, then instead Debian & Gentoo I
can definitely recommend for linux. Good and stable experience. For BSD
I use FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. They all work very smooth and I test
everything on them by routine.
My personal recommendation would be do configure with layout=GNUstep and
prefix=/ thus you get a layout very close to the Mac and NeXT.
Solaris works reasonably too and if you are really adventurous, I do
test and try to make things work on GNU/HURD from time to time. There
are screenshots on my blog to testify that things do work there
sometimes quite well (http://multixden.blogspot.com)
