If you go with Debian, don't use the latest version, the latest versions
of any software are usually not so stable.  I suggest take a Debian from
like mid-2007 or early-2008.

oh, and use ssh and certificates to secure your communications...
ssh-keygen on your Debian will happily create your "security" certs.
