I'll assume that my vote for SuSE Linux should end up in the RedHat category.

FreeBSD rocks.
All our UNIX machines (dedicated & our own servers) run BSD. We haven't had any problems with it yet. We do have one dedicated RedHat machine (customer insisted) that's been a major pain.

Planet Z,
FreeBSD definately rocks, quick question, do you use a control panel, if so which one?
I use Webmin.█ Coreix™ | your solution™ www.coreix.net - 08000226734 - ISO27001 Certified

For the servers we admin ourselves or admin for the customer, it's simply telnet/SSH. No control panels for us.
However, for customer-run dedicated servers we have been using Webmin. It does take a little support to get them used to it originally, but most of them are pretty happy with it after they get a general idea of how to do things.
We've found that it's almost impossible to compete with places like Burst, etc. for customers that want CPanel, since an extra cost of $100/mo would kill any semblance competitive pricing.

freebsd
Freebsd is by far the best unix/linux distro out there, redhat 6.x and 7.0 all suck, 7.1 is a huge improvement
