As I have said many times before, I have a personal preference to SuSE
(and SuSE 9.0 comes with the 2.6 kernel as an optional install). SuSE
also has a free update service similar to Red Hat's uptodate. 
One of the things I like about SuSE is that the distribution media
contains just about everything you would want, including sources. 
SuSE 9.0 professional has a double sided DVD + 5 CDs. Installation time
from the DVD is about 45 minutes. 

SuSE has its drawbacks as does RedHat, but I think that since it's 8.1
release has been much better than Red Hat.
