curious what myztic would recommend as well? ubuntu may not be 'ideal' but it works and installs a lot easier than arguably any other linux distro. i have no problem using debian/arch/etc but if you are just trying to get up and going ubuntu seems to always be the easiest.

See also my other comment, I changed my opinion on that.
What I originally thought about were systems like NixOS (for serious development), or something more minimalistic that offers greater control like Slackware, a *BSD (Jails, byhyve, dtrace(!)), or even just Debian (less flashy, more stable and robust).

I personally use xubuntu. What myztic meant was using "plain ubuntu" instead of alternatives like xubuntu, lubuntu or kubuntu.
Xubuntu is medium light for me and is fast. Previously I had only fluxbox on Kubuntu for the KDE apps which was extremely fast but with bugs in fluxbox I switched.
