Lisa,

You might want to give Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 a try. A developer license (5 seats) is quite reasonable at $299 for one year. The AS kernel has things like async IO back ported into the 2.4 kernel. You might find that ES is sufficient for your purposes.

You might also pickup Jonathan Gennick's SLES license that he doesn't seem to need anymore. :)
