CentOS is about as solid as you are going to find. I personally tend
towards the Debian and Ubuntu camp (long term apt/deb fan), but if I was
put in the same situation, I would recommend CentOS (or the commercial RHEL
if there is a budget) even over Windows.
Another option is to run a Windows VM
If dead serious, unplug internet, turn off wireless,
use read only Linux live DVDs (I like Mint 17.2 XFCE)
and store encrypted on USB sticks only - never touch HDD while running.
For that little bit more, needs memory flush on exit.
Pain in the Ass but closer to what he wants.
