If you plan to install debian by compiling it from sources, many 
distirbution are convenient. Most offer the required packages and 
compiler. Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, Fedora will work fine because I tested 
them. I personally use Debian and Gentoo daily (well, as linux, I prefer 
BSD).

If you intend to use the ready packages, things are trickier. Personaly 
I wouldn't recommend Debian: I don't agree how their packages are set 
up, several apps are missing and the update cycle is slow. However what 
is there works, I extra have a test machine for that. Gentoo uses to be 
quite good, your mileage may vary.
FreeBSD has good packages, but it is not linux :)
