It's good to go with, depending on what you're looking for.
If you want to learn, there's no Linux distro better for the purpose,
but an easier introduction could be by downloading and installing LMDE
here: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1818 which many are switching to
from Ubuntu.
After playing with that for a while and you feel you would like to get
more 'hands on', by all means, install Debian.

These days, there's no problem.
There's an assumption that because Debian supports old hardware, that's
all it does. This is misleading. Debian supports far more hardware than
it used to. The BSDs can still be a little bit picky, but that doesn't
apply here.
