I recommend CentOS <http://www.centos.org> CentOS takes the SRPMs from
RHEL and follows Red Hat's guidelines for redistribution. The user
community is great. The distro is free, and they provide updates to their
distribution as long as Red Hat provides updates. They also have some
extra repositories with newer/different things to add i.e. newer versions
of PHP, MySQL .. as well as enhanced kernels, etc.
