Depends so much on what you want to do and with what you use the server, plus which brand of server. For home server use, any server distribution will do, I know some microsoft destroyed minds even uses desktop distributions as server, it works but you waste a lot of RAM and CPU cycles on unneeded X Windows System. For business servers you may have to select RedHat/SuSe, specially if you connect the server to iSCSI storage and want to be able to get support for your hardware. If you want something that allows you to customize things quite a lot, then you should be looking at Gentoo or SourceMage (in these cases I recommend you have a compile machine, so you don't have to compile directly on the server). -- //Aho
