Best UNIX for home server
Hello all, Yes I am a newbie to the programming world and just conquered XML and Javascript, now I need to get my own homeserver.

My question is if I wanted to start my own server for FTP, and web hosting which UNIX OS is the best for this purpose, and which is the easiest to a newcomer. Tutorial websites also welcome on setting up a home server.

Thanks!
Alex
