Before going to gentoo or another version of linux, try the following: 1) turn hyperthreading off in the BIOS. It's probably called something like "virtual cpus".
2) Use a vanilla kernel from kernel.org e.g. 2.4.25. We used to have times when the system would just hang. Using a non-redhat kernel seems to have resolved that. We also use Gentoo, but I warn you that it is not the easiest flavour to set up! Hope that helps.

You can try debian or gentoo. I will try gentoo tomorrow and will see this behavior again.
