Debian has had support for XFS for a while in a sense (ie. it's a
pain to install XFS root filesystem but otherwise not too bad). There
are XFS install disks for Debian that have been floating about for
about a year or so too.

seems to contain relevant information.
No idea about Redhat ...
FWIW, I run Debian across about 20 machines and they are almost all
XFS, *none* of these required anything special to install, I just made
a kernel to my liking with nfsroot support and booted the machines via
nfsroot where I could then install the OS over the network pretty much
automatically. This means each machine takes about 30 minutes to
install, 25 of which I don't need to attend.
The only slightly tricky one was my laptop because it didn't have
builtin networking...
