The only objection that was raised to Debian on the list was that it doesn't have a stable 64-bit release, which clearly isn't an issue for the P4s. Also, since I'm told Jimbo is unfamiliar with Debian (which might be a problem during the installation),
It is is safe to assume that I could competently install it at least, particularly with guidance from the #mediawiki channel.
But there is a bigger issue -- these machines are already in service, and I'm leaving town tomorrow. I do not believe that there is time for an install before I go.
However, I am supportive of the next batch of servers running Debian if that's a popular choice.
We are experiencing a staggering traffic peak today.
