I guess it wasn't your question, but... If you are looking to run a

+1 for 10 years now a very happy camper with the green chameleon.
+1. I use SuSE most times I need Linux; and for some usecases I'll
pick FreeBSD.

I swear by using proxmox + openvz containers with Ubuntu. Yup, you
could
probably opt for debian if you want even more stable stuff, but this
setup has
some real nice advantages:
This is one scenario where FreeBSD is getting interesting.
With the current incantation of ZFS in FreeBSD 8.x you can create a
snapshot of the current filesystem (doesn't take any disk space until
necessary), mount that snapshot, and play with it. (give it a tcp/ip
stack with jails etc). once you're done, you can promote it to be the
primary filesystem.
Scary stuff. So far one thing I know doesn't work is the pf
packetfilter, but ipfw works fine in the snapshot environment.
