Which OS to choose for a home server?

FTP

Good afternoon! Help to pick up OS for the house server.
The main functions that you will need are:
1) file storage, which you can safely climb from Mac and also watch from PS3
2) FTP
3) torrent client
4) web-server for projects
5) web client for accessing the server
All night I tried to install Cent OS 6.5 and constant error and many solutions did not help.
In fact, after reading the Internet, I looked that, in principle, Cent OS is the most suitable.
What are your OS preferences?

Answer 1

It all depends on your "savvy" in this matter.
If you want to quickly and without problems - then install Ubuntu
If not quickly, with troubles, but without frills and reliably - then install debian
If you are too lazy to delve into it at all, then install the finished assembly. For example here: rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4046329

Answer 2

if there are problems with centos, then take ubuntu-server.

Answer 3

Cent OS
