With only 2 GB of RAM, definitly a Linux over Windows Server R whatever. Have good experience with Ubuntu for running a node.

The GPU seems unneeded for a server if you can add more RAM/CPU instead.

My mobo is limited to 2 GB DDR2 RAM (2x1GB - double channel) and I'm not intended to change it right now.
However I'm planning to use Ubuntu, but will my build hold one of the latest Ubuntu versions such as 14.04.3 or 15.10?
According to their system requirements I'd need of 3 GB or more RAM if running 64-bit CPU.

The OS in which you feel better with and in which you can implement whatever security measures you see fit would be the best answer Wink

That being said, Debian, Ubuntu, and other variants are commonly used for nodes.

I'm willing to use the following build as server where running bitcoind server, MySQL and PHP:

MOBO: ASRock 775i945gz
CPU: Intel Celeron D 347
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS or Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX
RAM: Corsair XMS2 DHZ 2x1GB
SSD: Samsung Evo 120 GB

There I'll receive/send bitcoins only through RPC commands and save tx infos on database (all of this done via PHP and C++).
What OS would you recomend me to use for best performances and security?
