This server is old enough that I think asking for current distros that run
well on it might not work.  My advice is to pick a distribution you're
comfortable with and go with that.  Google told me that people were using
Redhat 7.2 on it, but I wouldn't recommend that. :)

(Purposely not suggesting a distro so as to avoid the ensuing war!)
