Debian is a fine distribution; but there are others too. By the way, of
course people here will extol the virtues of Debian - it is a Debian
mailing list after all.
But I'd like to focus on two other issues:
1) Why are you looking to move to Linux? What do you want to do? You have
mentioned web browsing and Flash. What else?
2) What is your hardware (in detail) please? You may find it helpful to
do a web search on "Linux hardware" and spend a little time researching.
