Re: which distribution to choose

As for a normal distribution, you want simplicity, stability, security in 
mind. Therefore, i would recommend Slackware [ http://slackware.com ]. 
If you would like a security enhanced distribution, checkout selinux 
[ http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ ]
Hope this helps =)
