Simply put -- no such thing. That's the reason there's so many operating systems and distributions of operating systems. Everyone has different ideas and applications and needs.
Just about any run-of-the-mill desktop will run in those specs.

module::packaged::generate
Module::Packaged::Generate(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Packaged::Generate(3pm)
NAME
Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Packaged;
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
# $dists is now:
# {
# cpan => '1.08',
# debian => '1.03',
# fedora => '0.22',
# freebsd => '1.07',
# gentoo => '1.05',
# openbsd => '0.22',
# suse => '0.23',
# }
# meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
# version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
# Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD
DESCRIPTION
CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for
operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.
Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to
support everything else. Patches are welcome.
METHODS
new()
The new() method is a constructor:
my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
check()
The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included:
my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
