Thats a very tough question. If you want a distro that is rpm based then you
have a lot of distros to compare if you truly want to do things
scientifcally I would throw one of the newer Fedoras or RHEL distros on
there and be done. Unless you are NASA or the like, you probably aren't
gonna be measuring meaningful distinctions between the two. Something newer
would be better in my opinion since (unlike windows) the newer the distro
the more of an expectation of hardware compatibility you can have, and newer
doesn't necessarily equate to greedier, resource-wise. The newer the distro
the more flexibile and modular the whole os and kernel will be, not to
menion optimization which is a whole body of research all to itself.
