This is rediculous talking about starting with Gentoo, and Debian can be scary when you dont know whats going on.
That really depends on you knowledge and competency with computers in general. While I wasn't a *complete* noob to Linux, I would certainly be considered a novice/beginner when I installed it for the first time. The documentation is stellar, and if you're considering running an HL server on Linux, I would suggest you use Gentoo as a trial by fire so to speak. If you can't handle the installation and setup of Gentoo, then you need to leave the server hosting to people who know how to set up and secure a box.
