CentOS and SuSE 11 are the only rational free Linuces for business use.Don't forget Scientific Linux as well. Same heritage as CentOS.
"Scientific Linux? What's that?" :-) And while there's probably nothing wrong with the OS or its pedigree, that (semi-amusing) question is pertinent, I think, for someone in his position: he doesn't know much Linux, and is willing to do some of his own legwork on the support front, in exchange for not having to pay a fairly sizable yearly support charge. In that situation, the more public resources there are on which you can draw, the better off you are. For you and I, something like SL (which I do remember seeing go by on LWN a few months ago) would be a good bet. I'm not sure that's true for someone like our OP here.
