For filePro and overall strength which is best, SUSE or RedHat?

[Lerebours, Jose]

Need to make a decision on OS for, potentially, deploying
filePro.  I have played with both RedHat and SUSE and 
found SUSE to work pretty well and it was very easy to
install.

If this gets the green light, I am looking at 600 users
throughout Central and South America (just the tip of the
ice).

I am intending on mirroring my filePro files in MySQL to
provide ODBC visibility.  I am not sure if I should run
MySQL on same server as filePro or on a different server.

I am planning on using PHP or Perl (or both) to push data
from filePro to MySQL.  Of course, if I can import 
directly from MySQL and have scheduled tasks that will be
even better, hence, I have never used MySQL.

As per hardware, I am planning on getting an HP 380 server.
This is where the choice of OS really becomes a factor. 
Which of these OSes will work best and will have better
probability to include all that is needed to get an HP
server up and running with minimum fuss?

Support availability is an issue I need to take into 
consideration.  I would like your input on this.  If you
wish to keep your replies off list, that will be fine with
me (for those that have valuable information but choose
not to post ...).

Thank you all in advance!
