We currently use CentOS for servers and Macs for desktops. Over the years we have gone from Caldera->SuSE->CentOS, and I am most comfortable in an RPM environment having used it since 1995 or so. All our server software is built under the OpenPKG portable packaging system whether the system is FreeBSD, Linux, OS X, OpenSolaris, or even SCO OpenServer 5.0.6.
