Rep:
What services do you need to run. There are several different server packages out there. Each do a specific job.
Samba for network neighborhooding like in Windows
Apache or several others for a web server
Sendmail, dovecot, and many others for sending and recieveing email
Bind for DNS sevices, many other as well.
For a server, you would want something like Slackware or Debian, as lean and stable as possible.
For individual server applications, as Brian said, there are many many applications out there.
For a web server though, you will almost certainly be using Apache. For the database, I would assume MySQL, unless you are talking about something else.
