Maybe Fedora, maybe Ubuntu?  It's more time-consuming than hard to build a 
virtual machine these days, and it's not even that time-consuming.  Is there a 
distro that already has what you want all packaged up?  Run it in a VM.  Take a 
snapshot first if you want to try something potentially system-breaking or 
that's going to spew files everywhere.  On a single-user machine, the 
performance should be within a few percent of running on the bare metal.  So, 
if you test drive some beta software and it doesn't perform well on a VM, it's 
probably not going to be much better running on a same-spec physical machine.

NB: I administer several hundred virtual desktops, so I chugged rather than 
sipped the virtualization Kool-Aid.  :-)
