Server recommendations

[Technomage]

there are plenty of distros available for this. I haven't used fedora, so I am 
not as familiar with it as I am OpenSuse (and the XEN Architecture for 
paravirtualisation).  Suse does have a nice enterprise package (I know, I use 
it here as well and its not too expensive). as a "server grade" os, its not a 
bad one. :)

let me know of you need some help. I can always use the OJT (and a small 
renumeration). :)
