what would you say is the best linux for d 7.0.3

i am currently going to trash windows completely. it is garbage.,

i want to know which is the most secure linux server (for serving a website)

64 bit perferably.

and will need to know what else i should get like an apache/php/mysql package.

so i can get  my website up as soon as possible.

oh ya the best firewall might help too

CentOS

Nothing else needed.

Debian

Stable and secure

It's a matter of opinion and how you set up the environment. You may want to experiment a bit. My sites are hosted on Debian, but I use CentOS at home.
