Hello guys!
Which Linux distributions are accessible for servers?

Since servers largely use linux's CLI, I don't see a distribution not working. I think the ones historically used the most are the more widely known ones, However.
Ubuntu, Arch, fedora, etc.
I run a linux server myself, and use ubuntu. Which seems to work, as well as these things usually do anyways.

I would personally recommend using arch. It’s quite easy to set up and use, and arch servers generate somekick ass pings.

The CentOS and debian are accessible

All Linux distributions should be accessible as you really will use SSH. About wich distro you may need to use, it depends. While arch is nice and up to date, I don't know anyone who use it in a production server. If you are talking abou testing, you can take CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo or even Arch. If you want to use the distro in a production environment where you wouldn't want updates breaking things and stuff, then, I'd go with Debian or CentOS. Justt because they have much more community support in servers and their stability is guaranteed.

I've thought about switching to arch occasionally, but can never find decent setup documentation for my situation. Admittedly I haven't been trying incredibly hard, but...
