New crazy makes sense.
If you're looking for other general comments, I've been happy with Mint (v13 Maya). It stays updated without breaking things and is supported until 2017.

A nominally bad thing about Mint is that they don't have a supported upgrade path - i.e. wipe and reinstall is the way to do an upgrade - but proper partitioning should alleviate those issues.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Scott.

Outside that, I prefer vanilla Debian Stable without X for the servery stuff. Upgrading is entirely reasonable. Most of my boxes started on Lenny, now on Wheezy without losing a single one.
