For some reason, I think this will be a long (but on-topic) thread...

I use Debian (potato/woody/sid). Getting a good development environment is a snap, and
I've never lost time to figuring out wierd kernel/glibc/perl problems. Personally I
prefer to do a very minimal install of debian, then just apt-get whatever I need (ssh,
vim, etc). Perl modules can be installed using apt-get, but it's just as easy to get
them using the CPAN module. Not having to hunt down dependencies and download
separate RPM's is something you get used to _very_ quickly! Within an hour, I can
have debian installed, a new kernel compiled, and apache/mod_perl compiled and
installed.
/me goes back to getting Perl 5.6, LWP, and other things to work properly on a RH 7.0
box... ARGH!!
