Depends on what you want the server to do but I use E-Smith 5.6, easy to configure Email, proxy, web and Samba server. Can even handle being a domain controller with roving windows profiles. Hardware requirements are low too.

Did I mention it is free too???

Is Debian. It's the install once and maintain forever Distro of Linux...

You can pick your bleed level, do on-line upgrades, even recover from MASSIVE stupidity...

BUT, it is not for the Newbie to Linux at all...

See my previous post about Linux Distibutions This post here

Should help you understand WHY I say so...
