[ale] Web server OS

[aaron]

Even knowing that Jon is active with the Ubuntu
community, I'd have to throw in with CentOS.

In fact, I'll recommend CentOS twice, then you'll
have my $.02 on the subject.
;-)

White box RedHat without the bleeding edge pains of
Fedora.  It was my choice when I had to build a
server for a Drupal development site last summer.

Someone mentioned Wordpress packages being in the
Ubuntu repositories, but that may not be saying much.
LAMP web packages like Wordpress and Drupal will
generally install pretty easily on any common server
distro, though I will note that I did have to add
a non-default repository to get a yum-my Drupal
installation into CentOS 5.
