You will want a version of Linux that supports the GPT file system. I

system support comes standard on Fedora 19, as well as most other
recently released OS(s).

Ah yes! The old master boot record limitation! If I'm not mistaken,
using a mainboard with EFI instead of the legacy BIOS approach is going
to incorporate the new GPT (GUID Partition Table). No? I've been using
mainboards with EFI (instead of legacy BIOS) for all my server builds
for a year or so.
It's amazing how, if you've been in this biz long enough, what's old
comes around again! I remember editing BIOS settings in the 80's to
allow for a hard disk that exceeded 32MB (or something of that
size-range). And I don't even want to remember trying to fit drivers
into the Upper memory range of computers where DOS could access them to
manage more memory. Oye.
