linux mandrake as a server

Well, any Linux distro can be used as a server. My own personal preference for a server OS is Slackware, Debian, and freebsd.

Here are some apache tutorials:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/

Or an FTP tutorial:

*edit*
As for the headless server, you could just use ssh.
