Best OS for running mySQL?

I'll be setting up a new box soon. Since I colo, I can easily choose the OS I'm going to use on it. The box is going to serve as a dedicated mysqld server, apache won't even be installed on it.

Any recommendations for the best OS for mysqld?

I use freebsd 4.x for apache, but due to it's threading problems it isnt good for sql. I don't want to mess with freebsd 5.x till its stable, either.
