RPM is your friend if you learn it well (and use apt/yum)... But anyhow, here 
goes:

In production-

Master backend: Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp
Primary viewing system: CentOS 4, kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
Secondary viewing system: Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3


Development boxes-

Ubuntu 5.04pr, kernel 2.6.11-1-686-smp
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS (x86_64), kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL
Fedora Core 3, kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
Debian (mix of testing/unstable), kernel 2.6.11-1-k7


While most of my boxes are obviously RH/FC, I also have my fair share of 
Debian(ish) boxes. Installation is a breeze on Ubuntu (5.04 pre-release), 
just enable universe and multiverse in /etc/apt/sources.list, and away you 
go. Slightly more work on straight Debian, but very similar. Both work for me 
without a problem.
