Answer 2

The topic of choosing a distribution is always a holivar one, because by default, people usually know their distribution and do not know others.
Therefore, the options are:
0. The one you know best
1. The one that your closest Linux teacher recommends
I personally think, having become quite familiar with debian, centos, freeBSD, and having worked (from 98 to 2004) on slackware, that there is no better archlinux .

Answer 6

Lubuntu 12.04: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu
The desktop is similar to the old Venda, it does not slow down, it does not eat memory.
The package base is shared with Ubuntu, i.e. one of the largest and most debugged.
Important packages have working secure settings out of the box and/or a configuration wizard.
Updates for most packages will be released until 2017.
