Well, I am not really recommending debian but I would think it would be the
easiest thing for you to use since you're currently using ubuntu. If you
switch to suse or fedora core you'd have to relearn some things. Installing
packages, starting & stopping services, and configuring networking area all
the same in debian and ubuntu. But all those things are different in suse
and fedora.
It's become a cliche but as it turns out, the best distro is the one that is
best for you.
