I support SLES servers at $BIG_CO; I'm comfortable with SLES, and I make rpms of the latest and greatest postfix to replace the outdated versions they tend to ship. I can tell you that postfix runs beautifully on SLES. In my own shop, and for my consulting, I work with ubuntu server for the most part. I'm comfortable with ubuntu, and I make deb packages of the latest and greatest postfix. Again, I can tell you that postfix runs beautifully on ubuntu server. Just try pick a distro you know and are comfortable with, and go with it. Regardless, postfix is postfix. Joe
