As said earlier, almost any distro should be fine. I would suggest  
making sure you have a recent kernel and libc.
If I am not using FreeBSD Linux emulation, I personally use slackware,  
which works fine. You may want to choose a more user-friendly (read:  
graphical installer) distro if you are used to Windows.
