Within the next 30 days ? Wait for Ubuntu 9.10, this one will come with
LTS (Long Term Support), and apparently that's the kind of thing you
need.
Otherwise Ubuntu is a good choice, working pretty much out-of-the box,
easy to administer and featureful. That's what I use for all installs I
don't want to spend too much time to hack on ("end-user" computers).
