Debian Etch for Server, ubuntu or kubuntu for desktop.

In my experience, any RPM based system is a strict no-no - like Red Hat, CentOS.

Ubuntu is solid. Haven't tried Debian Etch or kubuntu yet. I would recommend Fedora 7 for desktop as well. I have had success with RH and CentOS.

My suggestion: get VMWare Player and play with a bunch of them for fun. Kind of inefficient, but it's cool if you like that sort of thing.
