Talking Good Linux Distro?

ok I'm planning to set up a server in a month or so. it's going to be a web, ftp, VNC server and probably have a few other things ie. Mail, maybe new or time... but I'm curious as to know which Linux Distribution is good for my needs? I want it to be relatively easy to set up. I'm mostly likely going to use a Dual Celeron system with the BP6, IBM 13 GB HD, 256 MB RAM, 3dlabs oxygen VX1 video card, 3COm ISA NIC...

In terms of compatibility which Linux Distro would be best for me to use? I want good network performance also. I'm also looking at other alternatives so if you have suggestions please let me know. I don't want to go the easy way either like Mandrake or Redhat. I'd like it to be a learning experience but not one where I'm pulling my hair out and choking someone....
