You should go in for gentoo(not for new users)/ debian(pretty good)/
FreeBSD(umm, maybe not). These distros have ready made packages for you to
install. Debian uses apt-get, gentoo uses emerge and freebsd uses..., well i
forgot it's name. They automatically upgrade your system by one or two
commands. Fedora's packages are available almost everywhere.

LTSP seems a better choice. The server should have ample ram (512MB-1GB) and
the clients need only 16MB ram.
