OpenBSD/FreeBSD is also good for servers. Gentoo and Slackware are also pretty stable too.

I wouldn't recommend either of these to some one who is just starting out with Linux.

Thank you all for your input. Is there a good site with a capability rating chart for each Linux version?

My personal preference goes to Debian for
1) a kick-ass package management system
2) amazingly large selection of packages
3) stability and security
4) its completely free! Built in true-Linux fashion with an open source team rather than a corporation behind it
Don't know how good Debian has proven itself to be a server, but it has proven to be an irreplacable desktop OS for me.

Ok, I guess I'm going to have to get another version of Linux, since I'm losing my bid on E-bay. Unless you can tell me another place where I can get SuSE 9 Enterprise Edition.
Why the Enterprise Edition? IMHO the FTP-install has everything needed for a server.
If you want easy configuration (YaST) and security updates then go with SuSE. If you are prepared to tweak and tinker a little then try Debian or Slackware (of course SuSE can be tweaked as well).
Installing a recent version of Debian might be problematic at the moment though. I've used another Debian-based distro's CD as a starting point and updated everything via official Debian apt-get sources after installation.

Do this from as many computers as you can. That server should be able to handle at least one thousand connections a minute (And probably a lot more), provided that the connections are downloads of simple web pages.Alternatively you could use
