Red Hat is still the most popular variety and after a recent wave of Oracle license auditing, it is likely to stay that way for a while. There is all kind of weird stuff going on. Red Hat is actively disabling OCFS2 in their kernels (Fedora has a working version of OCFS2) and Oracle made ASMlib a ULN subscription only software. There is apparently a small war being fought right now.
