Out of all the Unix I've been exposed to, I tend to lean most to Red Hat. If you pay the subscription, the patch update service is pretty good. Tech support has been better than average. The item that impressed me most was doing disaster recovery testing with Red Hat Enterprise. We restored to a different box and on boot it automagically prompted to remove the old hardware and to install and configure the new stuff without a hitch. Very nice. YMMV...

Our web developer wants to host a web site "in house" rather than with shared Unix hosting. When I asked what flavor he wants to use, he asked me! He even suggested that I download and learn a free one like CenOS and then we purchase an Enterprise one like Red Hat or SUSE Linux Enterprise. I don't mind learning something new, and I've actually always wanted a reason to learn some flavor of Unix, but it seems we are both starting from scratch!
