I've used Ubuntu (although it has a issue with sh -> dash - see the
Buildroot page for details), OpenSUSE (which is what I'm using now),
Mandrake, FC5 & 6, and plain old debian, and they all seem to work
equally well.

The biggest thing is to make sure you get all of the required packages
installed (complete list on the Buildroot page in the Getting Started
section).
