I'm a big fan of debian.  I use it on all my servers and two laptops.
However, debian/testing (aka "sarge") also has the thread-enabled perl
in it.  That means the next stable release of debian will be using a
tread-enabled perl 5.8.  Since my servers are running debian/stable
(aka "woody") they are ok with a non-threaded perl 5.6, I don't have
any Interchange problems.  However, it's only a temporary reprieve.
Probably sometime this year debian will upgrade sarge to stable.  At
that time I'll have to choose between a distro that works with IC but
otherwise is over two years old or a new distro release and some
hackish perl installation to support Interchange.

To sum up, I like debian.  Using the current debian/stable gets around
the RedHat 8.0 multi-threaded perl issue.  However, it won't in the
long run.
