If you want to run a GUI on a production server, you're going to want a relativeley powerful machine... X is a big fat ugly hog...

If you want a GUI for a desktop, and run a small personal webserver, it doesn't really matter which Linux. Almost all of them run X whith a window manager of Gnome or KDE (you choose) if you want eye candy. If you want small, fast and functional in the Unix sense of the word, stick with twm or some other stipped down window manager.

BTW, those work on the BSD's as well.

Search the forums to find much much more discussion on this...
