  Try telling my former employers that :-/ 
  On the cluster system that I developed, we were originally running a modified version of Gentoo, largely because I could do some serious optimisation to satisfy the 'must be as fast as possible' specification. But no, it was decreed that we use FC3 (at the time) and their hobbled version of Python was only the beginning of several concurrent nightmares ...

  I'd go with that - they've changed hands since I last used them (I think John Winter is a maths teacher now(!)) but they're very good. Quick delivery too.

  I use Debian for 'regular' systems - Gentoo wins hands down for anything that needs to Go Fast[tm]. I'm OK, it's the rest of the world who are sick ;-)
