    My opinion is that you should try each distro, then form your own opinions about each , then go with the one you like best. This is most likely what you will eventually do anyway.

    A dozen people coming along and stirring the pot will likely only confuse the issue.

    Again, just my opinion.

    Debian has one of the easiest and powerful Package management system. apt-get/aptitude and dpkg. Check here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
