I decided to use openSUSE to operate my server; This Linux distribution seems to have all the bells and whistles that I was looking for in a server. Check out Wikipedia for a good working definition of a Linux distribution, and a great comparison chart.
OpenSUSE 10.1 is the latest stable community release from Novell. It is important to note here that Novell also develops and maintains SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server which is not free.
Here is a snapshot of the KDE desktop on openSUSE. It is very colorful with lots of 3D icons. You can also change the settings quite easily to use transparency. Very slick!
