Moved: to our wonderful distribution forum where its more suitable and where we have dozens of threads asking the same question.

I'd go for Slack or Debian.

It depends on your knowledge of Linux.

If you are just starting to learn Linux,
go for Mandrake, SuSe or RedHat.

Slackware and Debian are advanced.

Of course, then there is Gentoo. If you like to compile and build an entire system from scratch.

Anyways, fancypiper posted some very good links.

Yea, that's a good point. You may find Slack and Debian hard if this is your first linux distribution.

Then go for what Mathieu suggested, better.
