Maybe an issue with support contracts, but either Debian or Gentoo will 
save you from the pain of a future all-at-once full-blown version number 
upgrade.  Constant incremental upgrades via apt or portage keep things 
up-to-date and running well.  Gentoo is probably a bigger up-front time 
investment, and I'm not sure how wise it is to be compiling updates with 
a heavily-loaded production machine, but there is a binary package option.
