Since I am getting one of the HP servers that madman posted earlier, for uni stuff. I was wondering what was the best Server OS to go for, I am currently D/L'ing Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Standard - DVD From MSDN and Debian and OpenSuSE.

If anyone could give alternatives I would be very greatful.

As Trig says, what's your plans for it?

If you stick some more storage in it, or at least a faster drive, you can find on the net a guide to installing ESXi, that way you can install multiple OS's

TBH it's main purpose will be to be broken, with me fixing it nah File, web, SQL server and to test Distributed systems. Anything that I am working on in Uni.
