Are you looking for a free distro, or for a commercially supported one?<br>
If commercially supported - I would select SUSE Linux Enterprise without<br>
question.<br>
For free, I would go with either OpenSUSE (despite the shorter lifecycle,<br>
OS upgrades are easy enough with the occasional "zypper dup") or Arch.<br>
SUSE/OpenSUSE will give you Apparmor for some extra security. Arch will<br>
give you an extremely simple, efficient, and clean setup.<br>

Just my $0.02 worth.<br>
