Ubuntu Is a great desktop linux distro. I run it on my laptop. And you can slim it down nicely for a server too. You just have to remove all the Xorg stuff which can be a pain. Debian's package managment makes it REALLY easy to make a server fairly hands-free. But. As far as setting it up on a Snap or other NAS device i really don't see the point unless you're trying to do more with it then file storage. You can certainly get a standard 1U server for cheaper than a Snap 4500.
