The one you're most comfortable with. If you haven't used much Linux 
before, then either KnoppMyth, Fedora Core or Mandrake, as they are 
probably the best documented.

The 350, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Kernel's w/APIC support like to bomb on nForce2 (not sure on nForce1). 
Unless a very recent patch is applied. Fedora (and earlier Red Hat) has 
APIC disabled, so you wouldn't have to compile your own kernel, but any 
of them can be made to work.
