Personally I prefer RedHat or Fedora.  Distros like Ubuntu are not as good for web servers cuz they do not run as root.  For a server you have to perform admin tasks all the time, many of which require root access and having to su all the time is a PITA.

Looks like Ubuntu is starting to take hold of server distros.  I will have to review this new Ubuntu server distro to see what it is made of.

A lot of folks are now using CentOS for web servers.  Just an observation.
