I don't know what's up with CentOS either, but I'm in no hurry to run away
from 5.6 right now. That being said, we've been having reports of success
with various distros. TJ (IRC: bougyman) has been having what he calls
"brilliant success" with Arch Linux, even when running AMD hardware. ;)
 I've personally used Debian Lenny for a while and I find it to be stable
and predictable. Moc has been experimenting with Scientific Linux and he has
also reported good success.

As it stands now, CentOS is still the "ol' reliable" of the distros and
still continues to be boring and predictable - just what we like. :)  I'm
about to migrate one of my test boxes to CentOS 5.6 and do some testing.
I'll report back any issues.
