Do you want to start a distro war? I think that everybody has his own opinion on this subject.
I have tried Red-Hat 7.3, Mandrake 9.1, Red-Hat 9.0 and Debian
If you install debian, you are about to have a hard time installing it but... Once you get it installed it is the easiest distribution to upgrade (well nowadays fedora also has APT so what I am saying might be wrong, I did not try fedora).
Debian has a vast selection of packages for all tasks you can think of, I use debian on the desktop and not on a server.
However the distro works a little bit different when it comes to network definitions etc. so it will take some time when you start just to get used to it.
Since you already know Red-Hat, than if you go to Fedora, or Mandrake I think it will not be hard for you to install or using it, since installation is done by a good software with decent hardware recognition.
Also the definitions and locations of network scripts etc. are very similar to what you know in Red-Hat 7.3
As for SUSE, I have no idea, I have never used it and never installed it.

I'm going to install a new server and as usual im asking my self what distro should I use.
Until now I used Redhat and the latest version installed is 7.3, which work very well.
What about Fedora ? is it suitable for a web server or any other server ? Or its better if I buy a Server OS from Redhat / suse / mandrake ?
What about Debian ? is it suitable to such task without allot of hassle around ?
And if I already dive into free systems why not use Gentoo which is amazingly fast but require lots of work around it.
I know there is no one true around this subject, but ill be happy to hear some feedbacks.
Thanks
