If you want to install from source, pretty much anything works.  I now quite a 
few people use Debian or Ubuntu.  Richard uses Centos, as I recall, but I 
wouldn't recommend that because its ancient glibc is even horrible to work with 
than recent glibc.  

If you want decent packages, skip Linux and use FreeBSD - ports show up a few 
days after each release and then it's just a matter of 'portinstall gnustep' to 
get all of the dependencies and everything installed.  Oh, and you also get 
some nice bonuses like ZFS and sound that works without buggy userspace sound 
daemons.
