I am not going to make a specific recommendation, only issues that you want
to consider.

You have been using Mandriva for a number of years, so that indicates very
long term stability and minimal change.

Look for a distribution that will not require an upGRADE in six months. 
Fedora is considered a bleeding edge product and last about 6 months before
being upgraded.  The same is nearly true of Ubuntu, but they do not provide
both workdesk and server in the same package.  Which one is best is a hotly
debated issue, good luck.

OK, no OS wars please :) I know, wishful thinking :o

I've been using Mandriva since before 2000. But they're heading in a
direction that I'm not going to follow. So I'm looking for a new
distribution. I'm thinking Ubantu or Fedora, but I'm open to other
options too.
