I have setup a few of my clients on Xubuntu 6.06 LTS. They required a GUI to admin the server so Xubuntu was it. Still running great - no complaints. I think the only thing I want an X-windows GUI for is Synaptic. Makes software maintenence much easier than working with Aptitude. It's better from a CLI standpoint, but still not as easy to use as Synaptic.
I agree with not using Gentoo. Gentoo is cool - fastest desktop I ever ran. It simply got to be a pain when 25 updates came out and I was finding my machine compiling software for 8 hours instead of using it to get my work done. Not good.
BTW - Sorry about the top post. :-0

Why not Ubuntu Server? Based on 6.06 with Long Term Support.
Yes, you could run just about any distro as a server, just as you can
theoretically fix any problem you encounter in Linux - if you can code
well enough. There are serious disadvantages to installing a
Desktop-oriented distro though. I found that Mandriva 2007 took a long
time to find and fix bugs in packages that were server-specific, although
it's great as a desktop. I wouldn't use it for a server again, there are
just too few eyes on the critical code.
