Fedora core 8, it is similar to Red Hat.

If you be using your server as a webserver, I suggest CentOS. It is widely used and stable OS used mainly by web hosts.

Most web server boxes run Red Hat or Fedora. Plus you get Yum, which is great for installing new stuff and updating existing.
i.e. yum install *SOMETHING*
