Depends...

If you are doing this as a Linux learning project, then install the Ubuntu server version and take it from there.

If you don't have time/money to waste and need something yesterday, then install Mandriva Linux since it has wizards to set most of what you need up for you at the click of a few mouse buttons.

Another suggestion, when making a post, be specific, don't just say "I need help please assist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" You'll get more people willing/able to help. A better topic would have been "Webserver/mySQL/FTP/email server setup help"

HEY THANKS HERMAN, BUT IF I AM TAKING IT AS A LEARNING CURVE THEN HOW MUCH TIME WILL I REQUIRE AND IS Mandriva Linux EQUAL TO WAT SERVER EDITION WILL YIELD
