In my (biased) opinion  Mandriva (aka Mandrake)!!

If you are willing (and wont mind!) to setup multimedia stuffs
by your own then I would recommend (K)ubuntu!  In any
case you can use Bengali interface along with English.

You haven't mentioned whether you use dialup or broadband
connection. In case, you are on dialup then check your modem
whether it has linux driver!!

  what about GNOME and  KDE?are  they linux distributions?

No! They are desktop environment. They come in bundle with
almost all linux  distributions.

  can i run SAS SPSS S-PLUS FORTRAN in linux?

I can confirm FORTRAN but for rest I don't even know what
are these!

  ps: i live in  dhaka,bangladesh.there are not many
 linux distributions available in the market.

Anyone from Dhaka? knows about any place? maybe
BDLUG member can help!

Cheers,
Golam
