I use Slackware and compile my own packages with checkinstall. 
Everything  seems to work great! The list is as follows: GMFsk, Kpsk, 
TWpsk, HF rtty, Qgrid, Gsat, Xlog, Grig, predict, Qsstv, TWclock, 
Xastir, Xcall. Slackware is one of oldest around with plenty of 
documentation.  Hamshack live cd is a good way to try it. Go to 
http://hamshack-hack.sourceforge.net/.
