    Here are two online test links for choosing a distro
    polishlinux.org » Distro chooser
    zegenie Studios Linux Distribution Chooser
    You can take both tests and compare the accurency

    If its an option, try to get more RAM because I think 32MB is not sufficient for running a server.

    I also think those specs are too low for running a server. Modern distros need reasonably high specs.

    The RAM is just not sufficient for running a server that will fulfill your goals. There is no way to avoid investing in hardware, especially RAM because 32MB just won't cut it and does not even fulfill the minimum requirements of most server distros.
