Are u an engineering student?. Please specify the exact needs & requirements of ur project. Not that it is going to make a very big difference.

This 'which distro' question has been answered quite a few times. I am reporting this post.

Please refer to commonly asked topics thread in the sticky and/or use the search feature. This has been answered many times. Any distro out there is good. Just pick up one of your choice, install gcc and any other IDE's, if needed and get started.
