Debian Linux

Cinnamon 64 bit.

FYI, for the folks who want Debian, there is a mint version of that too (I have never used it).

Cinnamon Mint 64 ( Ubuntu ?? ) downloaded, I assume I should burn it on a dvd and boot with this one.
Mobo drivers and Gpu drivers would be easy to find but
which additional drivers do I need for Boinc with Linux ?
Anything I have to look at to get it run ?

If you have a USB thumb drive, use Yumi or Universal USB Installer. Both of which can be had at PenDriveLInux (Link). Much better then burning a disc.

In general, Debian tends to be more stable than Ubuntu as it doesn't use bleeding edge everything. It is commonly used for servers. That is strives to be very stable also means that certain packages you may want or need are not available unless you enable the experimental sources. But, if you are going to do that, you lose stability (potentially) and may as well run Ubuntu. Since I hate upgrading, I choose the "LTS" or long term support version of any distro if they have it.
