I guess if you want a bleeding edge experimental server, you might want to try Arch Linux. But you will have to tinker... a lot. It all comes as a trade off. You get the benefit of rolling release and AUR, you loose the stability. Here's a balanced comment from the Arch wiki regarding Arch not being meant for the server: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Server#Arch_Linux_as_a_server_OS https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Server#Arch_Linux_as_a_... "You may have seen the comments or claims: Arch Linux was never intended as a server operating system! This is correct: there is no server installation disc available, per se, such as those you may find for other distributions. This is because Arch Linux comes as a minimal (but solid) base system, with very few desktop or server features pre-installed. This does not mean Arch Linux is a bad server system; quite the contrary. Arch's core installation is a secure and capable foundation. Since only a small number of features come pre-installed, this core installation can easily be used as a basis for a Linux server. All the popular server software (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, Samba, and plenty more) are available in the official repository, and even more are available on the AUR. The wiki also contains much detailed documentation regarding how to get set up with this software."
