+1 for CentOS3, as that's closest to the environment you'll be
deploying into.  Red Hat also offers developer subscriptions for RHEL,
something like $300/year for 5 entitlements, RHN etc.  So it's not
terribly expensive to develop and test using the exact same bits that
you'll use for deployment.

Thanks,
Matt
