I would like my next computer to be an AMD64 unit, possibly a Shuttle XPC mini-unit like the SN95G5. I would like it small, really fast, and full of mathematical and code development tools.
When I took this test, it suggested SuSE, then Debian, then Redhat/Fedora. I never cared for administering Debian, and Fedora seems unpolished (getting mp3 support was not fun; and I know why they had to do this). So it's either Redhat or SuSE. Both have some form of AMD64 support.
Does anyone have an opinion on whether one beats the other? I want a system that I don't have to compile my kernel for, with crypto built in and a modicum of support for non-free stuff like mp3s.
