[E3-hacking] What's the preferred distro for OE and e3

Hi folks, I've been taking a look at using OE to build bits for my e3 (now running Linux happily). What distro to you use to host your OE work? I've tried Fedora but there was a suggestion in the OE camp that it wasn't a good choice but no better alternative was suggested. What do you suggest? Thanks. Andy.
