My home box is running on Debian. Not really hard to install. Similar to that of other Linux distros.
To avoid personal preference (which is mandated by the forum rules), what I can say is that you need to be prepared to learn the Debian way of doing things, say the Debian package format and dpkg-line of tools, the debconf configuration file management framework and the defoma (Debian's font management system). Just to name a few. And you have far less (compared with names like Fedora/SuSE/Mandriva etc., if not none) vendor-supplied GUI admin tools for you to use. But if one is prepared to or intends to work primarily on the command line, the difference is not that significant.
