I'd suggest fedora or whitebox... no need for RHEL unless you've

Also, Fedora is 6-12 months ahead of RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),
so if you're looking for new hardware support, Fedora will have it
first.
I wouldn't recommend Whitebox. The distro seems to have stalled, or at
least be very slow about getting updates done, and does not have much
support anymore. CentOS is basically the same thing (rebuild of RHEL
from Redhat sources) but has a huge and active community and a very
active mailing list. I presonally have it on 8 or 9 servers along side
several paid/subscribed RHEL boxes and regularly interchange RPMs
between them without issue. Both CentOS and RHEL are rock solid stable,
as long as you don't need the latest widget/feature/doo-dad.
