It really depends on your needs, what's compatable with what, and all. I've played with 2000 and 2003 server, and both are pretty decent, IMO.

Fedora core 5 isgood for servers. Choose not top install as a server when you are in the installer. Choose a desktop comp and continue.
When the system is installed, go to the command line, and run this command (as root)
and if you get an error about mysqld not being found, use this:
This installs Apache 2 with MySQL and PHP5 support.
I actually ran a server with FC5 in VMware, (yes, an amazing feat) and it worked fine. MySQL was a bit hard to set up, but MySQL is made to be a pain. You can also try MySQL Administraitor from mysql.com if you don't operate well in the command line.
