Just my two cents to it, for what its worth. We are using CentOS,
mostly because each version has up to 10 years support, and have
mostly opteron based workstations with NVIDIA quadro cards (from
XIComputer). Otherwise, Steven Ludtke's has a lot of good info that
should help you to configure things.
