I have run Asterisk on several Fedora versions, Debian, Unslung (on the 
NSLU2 or "Slug") and recently Ubuntu. My most critical servers are on 
Debian and new ones will be on Ubuntu LTS.

I have had very few OS specific issues. I have always built from source 
except on the Slug but I noticed that Ubuntu has it in the apt 
repository which would be a great convenience if you are new to Linux or 
manage a lot of servers.

For a newbie, I would recommend an Ubuntu LTS release.

Pick the distro you are most comfortable with.

regards,

Drew
