I moved my servers onto Centos 4.4 (built on RH EL4) a couple of months  
ago without too much trouble.  I chose Centos because it is stable, has  
good support, and uses the RH architecture which I am familiar with.

For my desktops I have been trying out Ubuntu 6.06, which seems to be  
quite good.  I chose it because it also is stable and has good support,  
and is very well integrated (Mozilla, OpenOffice, etc).

Hope this helps.
