I'm thinking about possibly trying a mac mini as a home server?
NOTE: I have quite a bit of Linux experience.
 
OS X server isn't really any more useful OS X client version in the capacity of a home server. What are you going to do with it the mini that makes you think you need server?
 
Yeah, if you won't be accessing it from anywhere outside your home network, you can just install the standard version.

And check the mac mini forum, there are a ton of threads that'll give you more info.
