linux version for learning the ropes

Hey,

I'm going to set up a server at home so I can learn more about administering and securing a web server. Quick question though, which linux flavour should I use?

I see most dedicated servers have RHEL, but I'd rather not pay just yet linux version for learning the ropes freeBSD also seems to be a common offering. I use Suse on a daily basis through my full time job and I also have used mandrake briefly.

So which is best or does it not make much difference?

Personally I can't see it mattering too much, just need confirmation that I'm not missing something obvious linux version for learning the ropes

Thanks
