I have been a really big fan of centos. I didn't use it for my email
server because you would have to configure cyrus and that seemed too
troublesome at the time. I did do a project for a local church that
keeps alittle sql database of the sermons and some simple php to allow
the people to page through the archives. It runs on a old 1.8 P4 with
centos 4, and I haven't had any trouble. Centos is nice with the longer
release cycle, but the fedora legacy project helps you to extend the
life of fedora / redhat 9 or 7.3.
