Never used Solaris. But... I did, long ago, use SysV on a Motorola system.

As is mine (in my private life) <grin>
I've been running Slackware on something or other since Slackware 3.0. I've
got three machines at home (a 'server', a 'workstation', and a laptop) and one
machine at work (a 'server') running Slackware 9.0.

If I had to choose from the OP's list, I'd go with Debian (then RedHat, then
Mandrake).
