I'm looking into ubuntu and Centos and am trying them both.
ubuntu is a little too cutting edge for me. 
It's taken a few days to get a stable test platform built (it's hard
to find hard drives less than 2 gig - all ny BIOS will recognize)

This will be going into a product that we resell, so I want a
package with a long support life, and stable releases.

There are third-party embedded distributions, but I am then tied to
them for updates.
