Well, the only problems I've encountered with Linux were always do to
hardware not fully supported by my distro. For enterprise deployments I go
with the RH ES series. That way I can rely on Red Hat to do all the testing
for me. It's well worth $300 per year. I'm sure SuSE and Novell do a good
job too. I do prefere Red Hat's layout though. Maybe it's just because I'm
used to it.

On less critical installations I go with Fedora because it gives me an
opportunity to run the latest and greatest. I've deployed PHP 5 with MySQL 5
on such systems and after a little bit of tweaking they've all been working
fine.
