Ubuntu all the way.

If you Dl the server install disk you get a nice LAMP stack right out of the box, then you can just install a gui with apt-get. I think apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will give you the whole shebang.

Not sure if the server version gives you any special hardened kernels or anything, but if you set up iptables right, you'll be pretty secure.
