I'd say the main reasons for choosing a Linux distribution should be the availability of support first and individual preference second.

F8 was released on Thursday: it has R RPMs available as part of Fedora. You can also build from the sources. I expect RPMs will arrive on CRAN in a few days, but there are a few issues that might delay them (one is reported in this thread https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-November/047397.html). Although there are binaries on CRAN for several distributions, they are also to found on some of the distributions' own repositories and elsewhere. -- Brian D.
