RHEL 5 would be nice when its released. Although I mostly want Gentoo.

Personally I do use Gentoo within my company; and would like to see some official support. At the moment I have to go through a few hoops to be able to get ZCS(Or indeed Network edition) working. For testing a mailserver I do not wish to have to set up a Debian chroot; if I wanted a full Deb install I would install Deb.

I have almost decided to say to heck with it and am now looking at trying it on an FC release (I am waiting for RHEL 5 before I invest in enterprise class linux - Xen is too tempting) I moved away from Kerio for a number of reasons - one of which was their lack of official support for anything linux-based but Red Hat/Suse. I seriously hope that Zimbra isn't the same in such a short sighted mindset.

And yes before anyone points out I'm setting double standards by saying "I want Gentoo but will probably buy RHEL anyway" there are several "as standard" features I need; and the support would be nice.

Solaris is huge in the enterprise world. $$$ will come if you do a port to Solaris, it just needs to be marketed properly.
