Which version of Linux is best suitable for a web server. Any you guys running Linux for Web HTTP systems?

Any really. I am running RHEL 6.3 with Apache, but thats just me.

CentOS with Apache will do a good job, just remember about SE Linux and iptables

Is CentOS OK with MYSQL/Apache/PHP ?

Yup - I use CentOS for anything server related, and it is more than happy running as a LAMP stack.

Great news, I will have a play around with CentOS tonight. That's what I like to hear.

After giving some Os's a try I decided to go with Ubuntu 12.10 Server Edition 64 Bit.

I am running PHP - MySQL - PhpMyAdmin - Webmin 1.610 and this thing is very fast!

I can do SSH via Webmin remotely via Java.

There is no gui with this edition just command line and it's fantastic.
