Please, please!  Friends don't suggest their friends use CentOS.  I 
administer one CentOS server and I hate it more than Windows...

Now, if you want rock-solid, I can second the Debian suggestion.  I want 
Ubuntu because I _expect_ it to be updated more often than Debian.  Even 
running "testing" was too slow for me.
