My first suggestion was Fedora...but how about an enterprise distro like RHEL? It would be very interesting to compare an enterprise "stable" distro like RHEL to a bleeding edge distro like Fedora. It would answer what kind of performance penalty you pay for running by choosing an "enterprise stable" OS.

Also, I believe this involves paying Red Hat, and I've seen claims from Michael that make me think the website maintenance is expensive enough.

You claimed that there are a lot of distributions that base off Ubuntu, and thus Ubuntu is needed by the rest of the GNU/Linux platform. And the answer to that was that those distributions could have been based off Debian just as well. You're talking about something else here.

Facebook Shares
Another interesting statistic we can find online is the number of times a distro’s home page has been shared on Facebook. While clearly not an exact indication of a distro’s popularity, it can give us some idea of how many people share a link to their favorite distro with their friends. The following statistics come from the Facebook Graph API and show links to the distro’s homepage. Ubuntu has a clear lead in Facebook shares, with Linux Mint and Fedora fighting for second.
Ubuntu - 83,945 shares
Linux Mint - 7,762 shares
Fedora - 6,313 shares
Debian - 3,986 shares
Arch - 1,445 shares
CentOS - 979 shares
openSUSE - 599 shares
PCLinuxOS - 573 shares
Puppy - 426 shares
Mandriva - 419 shares
834,695 Ubuntu
186,124 Debian
54,160 Red Hat
45,261 openSUSE
36,981 Linux Mint
35,962 Fedora
12,618 Arch Linux
10,348 Gentoo
8,023 CentOS
7,872 Kubuntu
5,630 Slackware
And for context...
