Fedora core 6 is where I'd start today. SuSE 10.x is a very good second
choice. We've also tried ROCKS and haven't been too impressed. ROCKS
installs easily and replicates to the nodes but FC6 and kickstart is
just too easy and offers a bit more usability in our experience

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by Rocks "replicates" to the nodes.
All the nodes in a Rocks cluster are built using kickstart and you can
modify the package list, disk layout, etc through editing of XML files.
