Why not Ubuntu Server?  Based on 6.06 with Long Term Support.

Yes, you could run just about any distro as a server, just as you can
theoretically fix any problem you encounter in Linux - if you can code
well enough.  There are serious disadvantages to installing a
Desktop-oriented distro though.  I found that Mandriva 2007 took a long
time to find and fix bugs in packages that were server-specific, although
it's great as a desktop.  I wouldn't use it for a server again, there are
just too few eyes on the critical code.
