Enterprise Linux

[JD Austin]

I've been happy with CentOS for the last year or two.
"CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources 
freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise 
Linux vendor.  CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors 
redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS 
mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.)"
