    Any major distribution should work fine for this, but you might want to consider one of the "ligthweight" distros that doesn't run a lot of services in the background such as Gentoo, Slackware or customized Debian. The learning curve for Gentoo is pretty steep though, just FYI.

    I recommend Gentoo personally...if you're willing to get it set up.
