Need a good Linux server distro

[ncovert]

I am building a web server, and wanted to know if there were any good Linux server distros out there. I'm not using a big HDD, since the site itself won't take up a whole lot of space. Any suggestions?

Yeah. they even make an option during the install where you can have common web server programs added. I personally use it w/o GUI on my file/print server... works well.

I use Centos on all my servers.
Stable, well supported, it just works.

+1 For CentOS.

I got CentOS 6.2 running on my fileserver along with 3 more VM's running it too, very stable.
