New OS for IBM server

I was recently given an older 1998 RS/6000 IBM machine supposedly called a Shark and once used by either an internet dial up or hosting company from what I understand. Regardless, in talking to the wife of the previous owner who died, and from what I understand, it hasn't been cleared of original company data. Eventually I want to turn it into a web server for my video company after using it as a training tool to learn Unix/Linux and administration. Since I don't have a dumb terminal to access the computer, which is probably password protected anyways, I'm thinking I"ll probably have to go ahead and and move to another version of an OS and am thinking about Fedora possibly, but only because of what I read. I believe, and this is an assumption that the OS is AIX on the PowerPC platform. Is there going to be an OS better tuned to my needs then others?
