Another option is Debian (AG packages available at http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/debian). The main pros are those of Debian: ease of upgrade (no need to do re-installs), good security support, large number of supported packages. The main con has traditionally been the difficulty of installation (this is much better with the recent beta installers). Also, the next stable release isn't actually out yet, although it should be soon. There are also packages available for Slackware, which has good support and a shorter release cycle if you prefer that. Cheers, Steve
