Is this for home use? - if so I'd go for Ubuntu or Linux Mint, which are
both very easy to set up and have comprehensive software repositories.
Linux Mint has a more traditional desktop interface; Ubuntu has its new
Unity interface which you may or may not like.
If you really want MS Windows and have a spare licence for it, there's
no problem installing PG on it with the EDB installer.
