Strangely, I haven't run across any general consensus on a flavor for web development on the 'net. I only chose Ubuntu because it came up often, yet, I see a lot of people vote against it.
I thought I did see a blub about that at one point. Canonical was the overwhelming winner.
On a side note, earlier today I ran across this article which had this...

... at the top of the list.

I can get it with an additional 8GB of RAM and a 3 year service plan for $1039.00. It looks to be similar to my son's laptop (ASUS K501UX-AH71).
Admittedly, as I mentioned earlier, I don't like his trackpad (I prefer my 2006 MBPro's) all that much (I'm wondering if there is a driver lacking there) and the battery life isn't the greatest but it's a decent, lightweight rig for low cost.
