I'm afraid I'm not going to be too much help here, since I use my servers for web design/sites only. My work is done on a virtual server (a WAMP setup on my computer) and then posted on a pay-per-month hosted server (running a run of the mill LAMP setup w/ php5). The last 'home' server I used was in 2001 on an old Debian box. I couldn't tell you what I was running back then for the life of me.
But since it might help, what do you need out of your server?
Webpage interfaces? File storage/FTP access? Etc.
If you are looking primarily for website hosting, do you require databasing a la mysql, sql-lite, etc? Programming languages like PHP, Ruby, etc?
Like I said, I am of little help here. But I am in frequent contact with some folks who could be very helpful with a bit more information.
Cheers,
Munk
