SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for AMD64 Preload
I dunno, but for security and upgrade reasons I would prefer Debian (or is this not available for the Opteron yet?!
I would prefer Redhat just for compatibility with everything else I have. At least at Penguin, SuSE is the only option, and I'm under the vague impression that SuSE is the first-to-market with a GNU/Linux system optimized for Opteron.
I am mostly indifferent between SuSE and Redhat and willing to try Debian if the main developers want it, but SuSE is what will ship on the machine, so we might just accept that and go.
I'd like to add that we're having some problems because of using RedHat. RedHat's TeX doesn't include CJK support, so the math mode on Wikipedia can't render CJK characters, in spite of this being possible on my home Debian machine. Recompiling TeX by hand would of course be the other option.
