The great thing about Linux is that you don't have to do anything 'special' to obtain enterprise-quality server software.
While there are some distributions out there whose focus is primarily for servers(RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu server, etc) , you can start off with any distribution and begin installing server software on top of it.
I don't know what type of server you are interested in, but this is a list of software you might be interested in researching. Use the package manager provided by your distribution to install the software.
Web server:
apache
SQL database server:
mysql (usually you will want this if you have a web server.)
SSH/SSL/SFTP/SSFS server:
openssh
FTP server:
ftpd
Windows File server/ Windows domain-controller
samba
Mail server:
sendmail
Centralized authentication:
openLDAP
Media server (stream movies to your xbox, PS3, etc)
ushare
There are many more examples, and many more types of servers. The point is, you don't have to pay or do anything special to obtain 'good software'. These are up-to-date and fully-featured right out of your distribution. Install them just as you would any other program in Linux.
