Hi Shawn, I've done some quick checking. If you want to stick with a major distribution, then you have two choices: Fedora 14 (details here: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora) or OpenSuse 11.4 (details here: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse) I hope that one of these fits your criteria.
