This may be old and creaky but it is supposed to be the most stable
release of Linux available. 

You also forgot Ubuntu.  I used this once, erased the CD that I put it
on and used it for something else.  Of course, I was running an IBM
Thinkpad and they are very hard to get working under Linux (I've
compiled over 100 custom kernels for it.)

Again, this is subject to debate.  I run a Mac, and I'm a Mac snob so
you would know my answer.  Linux distributions get followers and getting
them to agree on which is the best is impossible.

Here is a suggestion:

Get what you feel is the best, research on-line and then CHOOSE.  You
will not 'loose' as all of these distributions are good.  The best is a
real debate.
