Just to make this thoroughly confusing, I will say that I am very happy with Fedora, which is the bleeding-edge version of RedHat, which I used starting around 1996. Tom "Spot" Callaway pays close attention to the R RPM, and several of the R packages are also available as RPMs (but I don't use those, because I just use R itself to install and update packages). When I have some problem with Fedora, I usually Google for it and find useful discussion of it in the Ubuntu (etc.) mailing lists. In other words, the problems are with the programs themselves, not the distributions.
I use Fedora on both 64 and 32 bit systems.
