Linux ripping

I’m getting an older HP G5 server from my school and I want to network it to my NAS and rip Blu-ray’s with my external drive. What is the best Linux to use? And will the older ram and cpu bottleneck the process or is it more dependent on the drive itself? Thanks!

The RAM and CPU aren't going to matter. The process is mostly dependent on the drive.

As dcoke22 said, RAM and CPU are not as important as the drive. But he forgot to mention since you will be using a NAS is the network. If it only has a 100M network that will slow things way down. Hopefully it has a 1G network.
As to the Linux distro, my personal choice is Linux Mint. Second would be Ubuntu. If you are new to Linux I'd stay away from Fedora. (And I know others will disagree with me, but I've had lots of linux/unix experience and never had VMs crash as often as Fedora)
