*BSD is not Linux but for a server it's grand. You might consider it
an option as well.
These are some distros I've used heavily over the years:
Easy -> hard to install:
Mandrake
Suse
RedHat
Debian
FreeBSD
Gentoo
LinuxFromSratch
Most stable -> least stable:
FreeBSD
Debian
Suse
RedHat
Gentoo
LinuxFromSratch
Mandrake
Best performance:
FreeBSD
Gentoo
LinuxFromScratch
Best hardware support:
Suse
Redhat
I read somewhere where there are like 1100 Linux distros out there
now, so you might want to try a few. And there are several BSD
distros as well depending if you want security, hardware support, or a
little of both. Most anything released in the last year has included
or will support Apache2 and PHP5. If not it probably will soon.
I run Gentoo and FreeBSD at home and Suse at work.
