Hi there,
What is the best Linux version for an amature programmer with moderate
experience?? eg redhat, debian etc?
Sorry if this is late replying, but...
I dont believe there is a "best" version for coding persey. Most
distributions do the range of languages, C, Perl, PHP which is my
current toy, Python, and the list goes on... The difference in
distribution would be the different between a Toyota Corolla and a SL
class Mercedes, say... Both will do the same job, getting you from A to
B, just one feels so much better doing it, even at the cost of fuel
consumption. Personal preference, Hardware Stats, Level of Impatience,
all play a factor in what Distro you settle on.

I like FC series Redhat (or CentOS...Same thing...) for it's "Do
Anything" atitude, Suse for it's simplicity, configurability, and easy
updates, and Knoppix for it's portability, and ability to lend itself to
most crashes, usually with good results...
