Internally at Unidata we run Fedora Core 2/3/4 and RedHat WS3. We like the Fedora Core option since it is more likely to be used by our community because it is free. So, if you do decided to change the version of Linux you are running, and if seamless execution of Unidata-provided software is high on your priority list, I would recommend moving to Fedora Core 3 or 4 (not 2 since it is no longer being developed). Regarding Madriva... I have personal experience in building LDM and McIDAS on the predacessor to Mandriva, Mandrake. I believe that Mandrake was a RedHat offshoot, so perhaps that was why builds on it were simple. Whether or not Mandriva continues to be compatible with RedHat, however, is not something that I know.
