If you hat proprietary anything, choose Debian. Debian's also good if 
you want long cycles (Debian hardly ever releases anything, there have 
only been two stable releases since RHL 7.3). If you want the latest, 
Debian Testing, and if you want bleeding edge, then SID.

Debian also has a fairly broad selection of packages: I have sitting on 
my pooter Debian 4.0r1 which comprises three DVDs.
