IMHO, what distribution is easiest to install on is not the best factor to
base your decision for a long-term server.
Either way, most distros are quite easy to get Hobbit or Xymon running on,
e.g. Mandriva ships Hobbit (soon Xymon), and I buid the packages for
RHEL/Centos as well:

(e.g.:
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/hobbit/i386/
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/hobbit/noarch/
)
I guess you mean Ubuntu 7.10. I can't remember which are "LTS" releases, but
7.10 is probably already quite a fair way into the support lifetime of the
distro (compared to say, RHEL5/CentOS5 or Debian).
