I agree with the above. Personally, I use
Debian, but not as a desktop system. One of my college professors got me
hooked on it. I run a server in my house.
If you download one of the "big ones" (Debian or
Fedora), you won't find the jdk in the yum or apt-get repositories, but there
are easy to follow instructions on the web. I have successfully installed
the jdk on both Debian and Fedora. When you're searching, make sure to
include the version number or name (ie fc6 or fc7 or etch or woody or
sarge).

For a few hundred bucks, I'll set one up
for you. ;) Seriously, I agree with Frank Baxter. I'd set up
something like Ubuntu or Fedora.
I've got one of both at home. I
currently like Fedora more, but I'm getting used to Ubuntu more and more.
Either way you go, all you'll have to do is install the O/S and then start
yumming or apt-getting to install what you need. For Fedora, I don't know
if the JDK is available in the standard yum repositories (you can download it
from Sun's site), but using apt-get on Ubuntu you can get the JDK pretty
easily. The trick is knowing what to ask for.
