Quite simply, go with what you know, I use SuSE because I use it at
work[1] and I'm used to it, I tried FC and ended up spending twice as long
doing anything as everything was subtly different.

For those that haven't used linux before however I (personally) think
there should be a 'recommended' distro, how that should be chosen I don't
know, is there for example one distro that most of the developers use? The
most popular? Easiest? Best documentation? Most stable? Best hardware
support?

Maybe there is call for a site to rate the different distros along with
the hardware they're running on[2]?

[1] I even considered trying to set it up on SLES but figured I was
letting myself in for a whole world of pain!
[2] There is of course already a hardware database but it doesn't rate by
distro, just by overall rating of how well the 'system' performs.
