Without getting into what is tantamount to a discussion of comparative
religion, I suspect that any distribution will work just fine.  

I prefer Debian, mainly because it is what I am used to, but also it has
the necessary ax25, mkiss, etc., modules built into its kernels (not the
one which is used for installation, but downloadable packages) as well
as packages for nearly all the needed CPAN Perl modules (and a neat
module builder--dh-make-perl--in case you find some which are not 
included).
