They didn't choose BSD for OS X for nothing ;)

All the BSD's provide a good stable base system (~50MB) and with things
like ports/pkgsrc added on seperately.  The fact that everything likes
to build from source should make your architecture pretty irrelevent.

NetBSD also has a kickass rc system and a lovely syspkg setup so even
the base system can have components added or removed easily.

> SuSE

SuSE concentrate more on providing a KLIK GUI than a high quality base
system.

> Debian

Probably my favourite Linux dist, if only because they have standards,
even if they aren't particularly good ones.

apt also makes installing stuff from binaries mindnumbingly easy, even
if they need a hugely deep testing system before they stabilize.  I have
no idea what binary support for your system will be like though.

Stick to /testing or /stable unless you like having your system break
horribly every week.

What? Sorry, is this supposed to be a good thing? :)
