Now, our distro choices are somewhat limited since we want good support, and can therefore only use what Compaq supports.

Not sure I understand what that means, because I doubt that Compaq will actually support your migration. However, if you are talking about support of Compaq-unique hardware in Linux, there shouldn't be any problem with any of the latest Linux distributions.
I was reading in another forum about a gentleman who is documenting his efforts to convert a state goverment agency to Linux. They actually are relying in RedHat as their prime provider and apparently RedHat is willing to do a good amount of custom support fro paying customers. You will likely get good support from any of the commercial linux vendors if they know you are willing to pay at some level.
On the other hand, if you are doing a "roll your own" conversion, first
the RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, and Slack sites and do some research on supported hardware. I'll think you'll have good luck with any/all of them.
Good luck to you
