Definately give Ubuntu a try. As Carl mentioned, it's basically Debian but with a quicker release cycle. I used to sware by Debian, but I'm quickly changing my tune. I'm running both a Ubuntu Desktop at home and a remote server and haven't had any issues. The fact that it has more up-to-date packages than Debian is another plus. It was nice to be able to type apt-get install backuppc and have the system up and working in no time.
