I was in the same situation as you and after lots of hassle and testings i
went for Debian for servers and installed mandrake as Work Stations.
Later on I erased Mandrake and installed Debian as Workstation too :)
If you go for Debian use the testing branch ( Sarge ) and not the stable (
woody ), I mistakly went for woody and now I need lots of backports.
Cheers
