Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

On the servers I administer Gentoo is the one I like the most. Portage is very nice and it is great how you can minimise the number of installed applications/features so that it run only what is needed.
I love Red Hat...but Voted for CentOS because that's what I learned on before actually working as a SysAdmin...It has a special place in my Heart...
I second that. Installed CentOS 5.1 on my mother's computer just the other day, coming from Fedora Core 6, and she just loves it. 8-) I wouldn't say it's a specialised server-OS though.
Any *nix can be used as a server...I can install apache on Ubuntu and call it a web server.
Some distros are designed for "Servers" in mind...and others with "Desktop" in mind. That's what this poll is about. To avoid confusion, it should say "Best distro that was designed for Servers"...but you'd think that us "Genius Linux Users" would figure that out
I'm just waiting for:"I just installed apache on my PCLinuxOS machine...how come PCLinuxOS isn't on this poll?"
I personally use Crux linux (http://crux.nu/) for my 'server'. Then again, although it's nice and fast, I don't really use it for extreme loads. Just an idea.

Debian server admins have more time?
