Hey everyone,
I'm looking to set up a development server for my Rails project and have a shiny new hard drive. Which version of Linux is the best to use? Or does it not really matter?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am partial to Ubuntu Server 10.04 (current version). Given, I was new to Linux the first time I set it up for a production server and overall pretty easy to deal with.
Debian has superior package management (<http://debian.org>, <http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros>\) and a very large collection of packages.
There is, by definition, little or no difference between distributions with respect to Rails. You install the same gems.

I use Ubuntu. In general, it doesn't seem to matter much; pick a distro you otherwise like.
Best,
