Use Debian testing (etch) at the moment. It will become Debian stable 
within about a month :) It supports most modern hardware, is relatively 
up to date (late model X.org, KDE 3.5.*, Gnome 2.14) and will have a 
long support lifetime. There is likely to be some package churn over the 
next month in preparation for the release - after that, the amount of 
updating needed will be minimal for a system that should "just work".

HTH,
