InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
There are, of course, many other distros to try out. I would strongly recommend using virtual machines, that way you can create as many test machines as you need. If you don't yet have virtualisation software, I would recommend QEMU or VirtualBox. Both are free software, but VirtualBox requires a proprietary extension for certain features - it doesn't cost money, but may be something to consider if you have strong views on free software.
If you want more up-to-date software (at the cost of more breakages), try Arch. Its install process may seem daunting, but if you follow the tutorial (and remember that it's a wiki, if you're unsure about something, it's probably a link that you can click), you should be fine.
