Using a server distro

[Octavian Râşniţă]

Hi,

I would like to use a Linux server distribution and I don't know which would 
be the best solution for a blind today.

It would be very good to be able to use Debian/Ubuntu but I don't know if 
the server distribution is as accessible as the desktop one, and I don't 
need desktop apps like Open Office, but I need to use the computer for 
running web-based apps.

Please tell me which is the best solution for using Linux in command line 
mode, without needing to use a hardware synthesizer.

Thank you.

Octavian
