any linux or bsd distro is suitable for a server OS. that is their primary function any way, you have networking built in to the kernel, and every concievable server daemon is available for almost all unix os's. id say when chosing between linux or a *bsd, try both. decide whether you like a system V style unix, or a BSD style unix. after that you can get into which one is more secure "out of the box", if that is a concern. if you have weird hardware to run things on, netbsd has always been good for hardware compatability. there is a myriad of choices.

GETUID(2)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							 GETUID(2)

NAME
getuid, geteuid - get user identity SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> uid_t getuid(void); uid_t geteuid(void); DESCRIPTION
getuid() returns the real user ID of the calling process. geteuid() returns the effective user ID of the calling process. ERRORS
These functions are always successful. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD. NOTES
History In UNIX V6 the getuid() call returned (euid << 8) + uid. UNIX V7 introduced separate calls getuid() and geteuid(). The original Linux getuid() and geteuid() system calls supported only 16-bit user IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added getuid32() and geteuid32(), supporting 32-bit IDs. The glibc getuid() and geteuid() wrapper functions transparently deal with the variations across ker- nel versions. SEE ALSO
