I recommend http://www.auroralinux.org/ for the distribution.  Note that
TriLUG hosts the mailing lists for this distro; several TriLUG members
are involved in the development.  Also note that while the web site says
it's based on RHL 7.3, and the stable version is indeed based on 7.3,
there is a LOT of work going forward to making a new version based on
Fedora Core 2.
