One more correction.  The SUSE distribution is not "UnitedLinux 1," it is
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.  There are no "UL" distributions, that's
just the name of the consortium (which will soon be disbanded anyway because
SCO won't drop out).  Each distribution provider in the consortium uses that
as the base for their own product, which retains their usual branding, i.e.,
SUSE, Turbolinux, Conectiva, etc.

Since you specified that the distribution must be available in both 31-bit
and 64-bit, I won't bring up Slackware for S/390.  :)

It looks like that SLES7 is out of sale since end of 2003, confirmed by
SuSE.
So, there are only 3 possibilities: UL_1, RHEL_3 or Debian_3.

I hope that somebody works on Fedora, because in theory all work was done
in RHEL and it should be 'easy'. Maybe Alan Cox after summer ;-).
