You could also try running Linux Mint...I liked Ubuntu and used it for work but I recently installed Linux Mint and I have to say that I absolutely love it...it's everything Ubuntu is and more.
If you want a distro that won't hold your hand and would like to learn more about linux in general you could try out Arch Linux which is great. With Arch Linux you can completely customize your system and only install the applications YOU want.
I also like OpenBSD for use as a web server, it's a *bsd that is really into security.
