Hi, let me chime in as someone who wanted to deploy a Haskell app on a fairly popular hosting environment (Slicehost).

Its also worth looking at Arch Linux - they have a rolling release and are therefore very up to date and have from first glance a very good haskell integration. The community is excellent as well. I switched back to debian squeeze however, because of its stability - update seldomly cause trouble
