SLAM!  Tell us what you really think, Dave.

Ubuntu's repos are perhasp "better" for newer stuff (and ease of use).  Not
sure why Chris likes CentOS, but I used it in productionin some enterprise
environments (and "liked it") because of its compatibility with RHEL
products (and not wanting to pay RHEL licensing).  In the case of older
packages, that never really mattered to what I was doing. I got most
everything I needed out of the DAG repository.

That said, I don't think that arguing about Joe's distro choice really helps
him figure out his problem.  Haven't looked at everyone else's answer, but I
would definitely encourage Joe to look at Ubuntu 10.04. There is likely a
nicely organized dpkg that makes his life easier.
