We set up a redhat and a freebsd box in the office as honey pots...we ran each os with default installs and again with some patches...
In both instances the redhat box was the first to fall victim to malicious computing...
I think freebsd is a better choice personally...that's what tomkat runs...and for my first unix box its easy to admin.
ColdFusion is a drawback I guess...but if you don't need it....well....fuckit.
(edited to add)
Webmin is a fairly good gui for freebsd. Although learning the command line is not only good practice, but I find gui's don't always do their jobs...
There's so much documentation out there that there's really no excuse to use gui's although again webmin was pretty fucking cool.
