Re CentOS, I should add that in addition to the standard repos
available, and the well-known rpmforge (which has a lot of extras),
there is also the elrepo people who provide a lot of drivers for newer
hardware. 

For what it's worth, these days, I use CentOS at home as
server-cum-workstation, and am able to do just about everything I need
with it, having figured out various workarounds for the older packages.
(But, I don't make many demands of it either.)
