It really depends on what you're using it for. If you're a beginner, I suggest using Ubuntu or any of it's many derivatives. If you are using an older computer, perhaps Damn Small Linux. If you wish for the operating system and all applications to be compiled specifically for your machine, you may wish to use Gentoo. If you are working in a corporate environment, perhaps Redhat Enterprise Linux is right for you. Once you've chosen there is nothing forcing you to stay with the choice. You can always change, at little to no cost.
