Ubuntu server is ALWAYS worth a consideration. I landed on Debian - its historically a bit more 'solid', but behind the Ubuntu streams...

Really, any server distro that tickles yer fancy would be something to consider - I like to land on a distro thats 'current' but not bleeding edge. At one point I wanted to try an Arch server, and IMO thats just a dumb choice - for a bbS platform.

If all else fails, just use the LTS Ubuntu Server and be done - but don't be afraid to choose something else you prefer. I chose Debian, ultimatly, because 2oFB originally ran on a Raspberry Pi and RPiOS was Debian-based; and Debian is rock solid - I haven't l00ked back.
