Distributions are the variety of life. :)  I think most people on this 
list use either Mandrake, Debian or Slackware, though Im sure any distro 
you pick you will get help with. :)

I think if you are more the programmer type and quick learner you will 
like Debian or Slack a little better.  Mandrake or Red Hat are both great 
as well, especially if you want to use as more than a programming 
workstation.  Setting up sound, printer, devices etc will be easier (most 
of the time) in a Mandrake or RedHat distro.

I think unless you are 'married' to ASP, you will be much happier with 
PHP, Tomcat or PythonServerPages.
