With Debian I floundered with no usable X installation for.... well, weeks, before I gave up. This is for a home use computer, not a server btw. You wouldn't really bother with a super-dooper Geforce AGP card in a server, would you? (well, maybe if you're fond of Quake3 on your LAN! ;) I guess time will tell whether I will prefer Deb or RH as a standalone home PC or not. I'm not saying Deb sux, I'm just saying I got this working to my satisfaction very quickly, it does everything I want, and does it well with the minimum of fuss.
Oh yeah, i had no problems with updating to Debian testing and am now running the 2.4.17 kernel on both my main server and on my desktop. Both of these machines are running X v4 with hardware acceleration on Nvidia cards (a TNT card and a GeForce 2 GTS (mmmm, quake III arena on linux, nice)) which the only tricky bit to setup was downloading the closed source driver modules, which is another rant in itself).
