I still like Ubuntu 10.10, even though it is a bit dated.  I especially
like http://elementaryos.org/  (which is Ubuntu-based).
Regardless of the version, you will want to either demo on a 32-bit version
(easiest), or add the 32-bit libs to a 64-bit installation.  ElementaryOS
has an OS X inspired look without appearing to be another cheap copy-cat.
 Much fresh design has gone into this distro.
