I can highly recommend Ubuntu Server 7.04. It takes minutes to install
and at the end there's an option to install all the packages you'll need
for a typical LAMP server. Easy to maintain and keep up to date. Plenty
of community support. I'm not sure if the updates for it come out any
faster than Red Hat, but I'd assume that they're pretty close or the
same.
