Last time I checked, Ubuntu worked fine - but that was years ago. Since Ubuntu is Debian based you can try to use the installer and hope for the best.
Unless you want to host a public server, you don't need a mid to high end server to have a good experience. The files run pretty well on low end servers, just make sure to get at least 2 cores and about 4GB RAM (of course more is always better).
