I would suggest Distrowatch like the other 2 post.
But don't forget most Linux distro's are free. So download the most popular and if you don't like it, try the next on the list. Could take a few times until you find one you like. It's personal preference most the time for what people use.

ctrlaltdel
CTRLALTDEL(8) System Administration CTRLALTDEL(8)
NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination
SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft
DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can
perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset,
which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8)
program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation
for the version that you are currently using.
ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
