For that region, you might want to take a look at Connectiva, which has 
been a popular distro in Latin America for several years.  They're in 
the process of merging with (being acquired by) Mandrake, which can 
only improve things -- I've found Mandrake to be extremely stable these 
last couple of years.  Admittedly, I'm not running production fP 
databases on it, just a home server that's been 24/7 for five years 
made of cheap hardware (three crashes in the last three months, I think 
the hardware is reaching its end of life, or maybe I should blow out 
some dust).

never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are
arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.		-- H. L. Mencken
