For development, obviously Ubuntu simply because it's the largest 
audience by far.

But for demo, I would suggest Linux Mint.  It's based on Ubuntu and very 
easy to use, with a pleasant UI that folks tend to like right off.  But 
more important for LiveCode is that it doesn't use a global menu bar, 
Ubuntu's Launcher, or other Ubuntu-specific things that LiveCode doesn't 
support well right now.
