I would say that if you pick any of the big four you will be fine.
CentOS
Ubuntu Server LTS
Red Hat
Suse
Debian can also be a good choice.
We used to be an OpenSuse shop but we are now moving everything to Ubuntu Server LTS. I can not say enough good things about CentOS as far as stability and long support times.

I know that this is probably a "religion" issue but we are looking to move Postgres to a Linux server.  We currently have a Windows 2008 R2 active directory and all of the other servers are virtualized via VMWare ESXi.  One of the reasons is that we want to use a 64 bit Postgres server and the UUID processing contrib module does not provide a 64 bit version for Windows.  I would also assume that the database when properly tuned will probably run faster in a *inx environment.

What and why should I look at certain distributions?  It appears from what I read, Ubanta is a good desktop but not a server.
