The current Kubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) is quite stable, and the latest KDE
3.5 is available as an add on. This is also pretty stable. I don't
usually run KDE, but I've been checking out 3.5 for a few weeks.

All of the usual tools (Apache, Postfix, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) for
server operations are available and well maintained (Debian SID base).

xfce is also available, and if your desktop demands are less involved
than KDE, it works great and uses a lot fewer resources.

If you have any plans to add a laptop to your arsenal, Kubuntu works
quite well there as well, so you could settle on a single distro for
both environments.

The only caveat: there will be a new release within the next few
months, and it's not yet known whether there will be an upgrade or a
reinstall path.
