Whatever is cheap and common, I'd say. If you plan to fool around with setting up Linux and maybe *BSD servers, you need hardware support for that. Home lab for me would be a place to build and run servers. I.e. basic tooling to assemble cases, change CPUs and RAM and a wired network connection. A community hacker space may work too and there will be folks to ask for advice. You could also use micro PCs[1] or a Rasperry Pi, but those are too different from actual servers IMO. That's why I'd prefer a larger form factor to start with. 1: https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimicro-home-lab-revolution/ https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimic...
