More people use Red Hat (either Fedora Core or RHEL/Centos) than any other
Linux distribution among the OpenAFS community, so you get the largest
community that way.  One of the OpenAFS gatekeepers (myself) uses Debian
and maintains the Debian packages, so they're probably the most up-to-date
in terms of packaging.  Other Linuxes are in use, including SLES, but the
community is smaller.

Yes.  1.4.4 fixes a variety of bugs.
