Definitely recommend Mandrake Linux. But you must understand some things. I don't feel like typing them, so go here:

oblar, that's cool, I can understand wanting to do things yourself. One thing about Gentoo as a server though: yes, "emerge sync && emerge -U world" is cool, but I wouldn't set it to blindly run it every so often. Just like with anything, maybe you don't want the latest upgrade to that one program because it's known to cause problems, or break compatibility with some other program. I'd always recommend "emerge -Up world" (the p is for pretend) so you can see what will be done first, then you can decide if you want to do it.
