OK, I haven't worked on any high production servers and used linux only as
workstations. But from what I have read and I have experienced, reiserfs is
particularly good bet for several small files. XFS is very good at serving
extremely large files like multimedia files. Reiserfs combines metadata and
data thus making it much better for several small files.
I would recommend a trial though and try some stable distro like Mandrake 8.
I know I don't have enough to back my claims but I think this should work.
Take it as a suggestion.

P.S. As I type this KMail crashed, for unknown reasons but when I restarted
it my half way composed e-mail was intact. I am amzed. Just for sake of
understanding, I would like to know how this is handled?...;-)
