Ubuntu is the most commonly stable updated. I use it and love it. What language btw? A LAMP stack is soooo easy to implement it will make u laugh.
D has the right answer btw!
Ubuntu
Linux isn’t a programing language, it’s an operating system for your computer. Ubuntu , based on Debian, is probably the best and is currently the most popular version of Linux. It will run on netbooks.
If you are aiming to get a Linux job at some point, you should use CentOS or Fedora, as they are clones of Red Hat, which is the most common Linux used in production environments. Debian, Ubuntu, or their derivatives are fine for home use, but don’t give you that much relevant experience otherwise. Any Linux system can be used for programming if you install the right tools.
right you dont say what type of programming or the language.
but basically ubuntu is good if you new to linux
if you wanting to do java i suggest solaris
php any os will do.
mono any os will do.
phython any os will do
if your wanting to get a job developing os software then solaris if you java developer, centos, redhat, susie
good luck
For programming, I would have to say Fedora would be the best. Fedora is the test bed of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Clone of Red Hat. Fedora is constantly in Development and thus ships with a great deal of dev tools. I believe that Fedora 13 had both Python 2.7 and Python 3.1 installed side by side to help developers convert their code from Python 2 to become compliant with Python 3.
Outside of that I would also recommend Debian, Slackware, and Gentoo.

When it comes to Linux distributions one of the best of them is Fedora, the community version of Linux giant Red Hat. Following close on the heels of the release of Ubuntu 10.10 last month, Fedora developers last night released version 14 of the operating system.
Codenamed Laughlin, Fedora 14 isn’t packed with desktop changes but for developers and the geekier users, the release is full of useful features. This is very much in line with Fedora’s habit of rolling bleeding-edge features into their releases, often well ahead of other mainstream Linux releases. …
… For developers there are a number of goodies included in Fedora 14. Among those are a new compiler for the D programming language, Python 2.7 as default and Python 3 as an optional extra. Also for developers Fedora includes Netbeans 6.9 and the newest Eclipse release.
Virtualisation is still a major feature of Fedora 14. Along with KVM, Red Hat’s preferred virtualisation software, Fedora 14 also includes Spice, a tool for seamless interaction with multiple virtual desktops.
Fedora also makes a big cloud computing play with this release. Fedora 14 is the first release of the distribution that not only includes a range of virtualisation and cloud tools but also features a concurrent release for Amazon’s EC2 cloud.
