We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and Debian 3.0 r2 ("woody") for our commercial installations.
Asterisk runs well on both but you will find RHEL3 much easier to install and find that it supports a wider range of hardware configurations without requiring the kernel builds that a Debian install frequently involves. Indeed, with some more unusual hardware (i.e. IBM ServeRaid controllers) one has to build a new Debian kernel on a separate machine to support the controller whereas RHEL3 installs straight of the CDs. On the other hand, the obvious cost benefit of Debian can compensate for the steeper learning curve when one is doing dozens of installs. The problem with Red Hat 8 or 9 is that support and fixes have been discontinued. For hobbyist installations that may not be an issue but for our customers they are non-starters.
