Most people would say Ubuntu. Until recently, the Debian/Ubuntu SqueezeCenter installation package worked perfectly. Things have been unstable for a bit, but I installed the latest yesterday with only one hitch (all preferences wiped). However it runs fine.
Ubuntu is very mature, very stable, has many, many preconfigured packages and a massive forum. Packages are kept quite up to date and there are new distro releases every 6 months that generally upgrade everything to the very latest. It's not as resource-light as other (harder!) Linux distros like Gentoo, Slackware or pure Debian, but it's very easy to use for a beginner. The install CD also acts as a live CD so you can test it out before installing it. Once you get a bit of experience with the command line and provided SqueezeCenter and server activities will be all that you'll do on the machine, you can lighten things up by installing Ubuntu Server. -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.
