Best Linux Flavor for 3.2

I've tried the Ubuntu pre-packaged install and found it wanting, so I intend to install the complete 3.2 package on a new server. My question… which Linux flavor have you all found to be the most convenient? Which has the most prerequisite software in its repositories and requires the least about on setup and customization before installing Alfresco?

I've had experience with Fedora, Ubuntu, and Centos. Each had some advantages, but I'm unsure of which is the easiest to configure to handle the complete Community 3.2 installation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

It really depends on the system that you are most comfortable with.  In my case, I am a debian guy so I chose Debian or Ubuntu for all my installs although I just completed a test deployment on Centos without any issues.  At the end of the day, Linux is Linux but but I am so used to debian that I can do a basic install of Alfresco in just a few minutes (I have ready to be deployed virtual servers).

This is a great Alfresco guide to be up and running in matter of minutes using Ubuntu or Debian: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3_Stable_on_Debian_Etch

Cool. I'll give it a try. I assume only the obvious modifications need to be made to install it to Lenny. Correct?
