I switched my servers from a mix of RHEL and SUSE to Debian, after falling in love with Ubuntu on laptops / desktops (Ubuntu is one of a number of Debian derivatives out there). I've found Debian to be rock solid and the community is perhaps the strongest of any Linux distro. I also appreciate the project's strong commitment to software freedom. Still find myself working with other people's RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, SLES, openSUSE boxes and it's a joy to go back to Debian. Like you, I've also ventured into Solaris a couple of times (mostly for ZFS) but went back to Linux each time because using that OS is just painful! Can't wait for BTRFS to get to stable! Also, Nexenta seems interesting. Another vote for Debian.

The application is built using the Gaudi software framework, which is used for all event- processing applications in the LHCb experiment. The existence of an underlying framework allows several common basic services such as persistency, interactivity, as well as detector geometry description or particle data to be shared between simulation, reconstruction and analysis applications.

It is a very very good piece of Linux distribution and widely used in the server environment. I think it is worth mentioning here. although this might not be applicable to your case since you are used to use RH-based distros there is also Debian.
