Linux Server OSes? (self.linux)

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

Arch as a server distro is not unheard of, I guess it just requires folks to know what they're doing.

Depends on the type of server too. My media server is arch (aur is godsend with all the weird little tools I'm running) but you'd have to be out of your fucking mind to use it for a web server.

Web server is usually Ubuntu server/Debian with virtualmin.
