I'm adding my voice for Debian here. I've run it on a laptop of some
kind for about 10 years now, and it always performed well.

My current system carries a full development environment with lots of
libraries for three languages (Perl, Ada, and Common Lisp), all of them
right from the repository. I've used this to do sysadmin-related
development and hobby stuff for all the time I've had Debian installed.

The Debian maintainers really deliver good work; Ludovic especially
maintains a great Ada environment. And as he has pointed out, the
current 'unstable' is in the process of being deployed as 'stable' so
just use his URLs to install, and upgrade to stable when the freeze and
release are done.
