I use Ubuntu Server for all my servers - very quick and easy to set up
(the installer even asks you which common servers you'd like installed
- web server, mail server, Samba, etc and sets them all up for you),
but plenty stable enough - I don't think I've had one crash on me yet.

Hope this helps,
