Hey Plonistas

I FINALLY get to set up a linux box! (there is a God after all) and I need to impress the bean-counters.

This box will be used for python/zope/plone development (and proof of the stack) but I need a kickstart selecting a linux flavor.

I have tons of DOS/windows experience (25+ years) but virtually none of unix/linux. I am confident I can learn what I need to 'on the fly' but right now the OS has to 'just work' (I can't get into compiling it, etc.)

I need to setup multiple instances of plone 3 with zeo (via buildout) as quickly as possible and with the absolute least difficulty. I may also be setting up:
        - pound with apache (it's a quad core box)
        - entransit and/or deliverance
        - varnish

I had looked at centOS and ubuntu server.

I was about to install ubuntu server but I just noticed that it uses .deb instead of .rpm. Is ubuntu going to be a limitation for me later on, or are debian versions universally available?

Or, what flavors should I avoid? (why?)

Thanks in advance for the (non)crash course.
Ian
