CentOS+the occasional exception. Most of the staff were familiar with
RHEL, Fedora, etc., so it was a matter of choosing from that general
family. We have exceptions for SVN (debian), a FreeBSD security/
utility box, and an Ubuntu desktop for one guy who just adores it,
but those are VM images, and not publicly accessible.

When I can get a package manager with 24 hour turnaround on zero-day
releases, snapshots, and bugfixes, I'm more than happy to use such a
thing. Until then, yes, configure stings and compiles... (though I
didn't mention the x86/64 bit (and other optimizations) compile
variations issue.)
