FreeBSD was my first choice, until I realized that the text-to-speech s/w only ran on linux. There is a linux compatibility mode for BSD, but I'd rather avoid an extra layer of complexity. So our server is running Ubuntu right now.

You should still test BSD...we've actually had Linux software run FASTER in linux compat mode on BSD than on native Linux. It really depends on the software in question...
