When your preferred server OS annoys you enough to switch.

It is easier to run java on Linux. It is easier to run commerical
applications on the enterprise Linux distributions. Outside of
those, it becomes mostly a matter of taste.

You can read or hear about the firewall configuration, package
management, and software RAID management, but you only really
appreciate the differences after using it for a while.

For the home server box, try running a different flavor each year
or two and squeeze as much functionality as you can into it. Very
little is learned by installing something and letting it idle
until it gets overwritten again.
