The red hat family of linux is my advise. Most practical is a Centos 7.4 version, since its support many application software packages. Skype, libre Office, Firefox, thunderbird. Good luck with the configuration ! Best.

It would be good if it has good coverage of monitoring and dealing with failures. I inherited a couple of boxes with big bunch of software RAIDs each, and I even may have some problems, but I don't want to bother anybody with specifics unless I really hit brick wall, not just my own ignorance. Thanks in advance for all your answers!
