    I setup a 14 node, 28 CPU gentoo diskless cluster here at work. It's
    currently serving as a PBS farm for web based job submissions. I also
    plan to setup nagios on the head node for our infrastructure. Couldn't
    get RHEL4 or RHEL5 to play nicely with the older hardware so used
    knoppix and loaded gentoo from that.

    The best thing about gentoo is not being stuck in dependency hell.
    Regardless of the age of your system, a package install or upgrade is
    easily done. It's just a matter of knowing how to use emerge properly.
    If the package is in portage (http://gentoo-portage.com) you won't
    have to run around the internets looking for rpm's or debs. The
    documentation and support is really nice as well.

    If you want something that's certified go with SLES or RHEL. If you
    want bleeding edge try gentoo. It's also a great way to learn how
    linux "works" without doing it LFS (Linux from scratch) style.
