If you're looking for case studies of high traffic sites, both MS Hotmail
and Persian Kitty [the biggest sites in their respective
categories or webmail and porn] primarily use FreeBSD.
Yahoo [biggest search engine] uses FreeBSD for its front end, but is now
powered by google, a
clustered Linux setup based on modified Red Hat. Akamai [you kno who
Akami is right?] are also pretty much entirely Linux based, with a highly
customized internal distribution. I'm not sure if this was originally one
distribution or another.
Red Hat hads the best support, vendor certification, and
certification of all the Linuxes. But Mandrake are much more innovative
and pewrhaps deserve a place in your Network. Optimized software and
ReiserFS, along wiht improving security make Mandrake a fairly good option.
That said, my own work primarily deplaoys Red Hat at client sites [6.2,
not 7]
