Hi Victor,
If a more suitable solution fails to materialise I wouldn't be too
worried about the RH option if I were you, since yum is just as
civilised as aptitude these days. My personal preference is for
Debian/Ubuntu but I am just as happy with RH from an admin and
application install point of view if needs be.
