I am wanting to install a Linux Distrbution that is capable of running a webserver with PHP, MySQL and Apache. I would also like to install the Unix version of Real VNC as they will be in a different room to my main computers.

I was planning on using Linux Fedora Core 2. I downloaded and burnt all Five Disks and when it comes to booting the PC marks it as a 'failure'. I did have Linux Fedora Core 1, but this was on DVD and my DVD drive has misteriously packed up. If possible could someone provide me a link where I can download this distribution of linux from?

Thanks in advance! ;)
 
If you're looking for a more production-ready stable server environment I'd look at CentOS instead fo FC. Fedora is based on the unstable branch of Red Hat. There's a new version every few months. CentOS is a simple recompile and repackage of the stable branch of Red Hat and inherits its parent's enterprise-level stability.
 
Sounds like a home server, in which case don't make life difficult for urself.

1. Download and install ubuntu. (The server iso version has the option to install LAMP stack at install time, if you choose this option skip step 2)
2. Install Xampp (LAMP stack) probably via apt-get, if not from their web site (google it).
3. Install FreeNX via apt-get.

Thats the whole server done, easy as that, LAMP stack plus remote access.

Then just install a FreeNx client for your other machine from nomachine (google it). BTW FreeNX is so much better than VNC its untrue.

As above, don't use VNC unless you have to. FreeNX is the equivalent of using Remote Desktop on Windows, but I like it much more :)
