All I can say, is be VERY careful (or liberal) with the wording you use to get the certification. At a past employer, they were too literal with their definitions and we were stuck at an old version of the OS specified, and weren't allowed to upgrade without re-certification! So just be careful. I'd recommend Debian, but you'll get 20 different answers to which distro to choose.
