This is largely a matter of taste and/or whether what you want to do is
supported under the OSes in question.  (Personally, I'm a BSD bigot all
the way, as is not surprising given the forum you're finding me in.  If
you prefer Linux for whatever reason,by all means, go with it.)

This is not necessarily true.  I've got NetBSD running on at least half
a dozen machines, but am not certain I've ever even *seen* a NetBSD CD.

If you have any OS presently on the SS2, you can probably install from
it, if necessary by going the miniroot route.
