I've stuck with Centos5.2 with the automatic install of Virtualmin...and an install of phpmyadmin.

Managed to set up the webserver with multiple domains very easily, email on all the domains (just looking at configuration to make it a bit more spamproof).

Centos 5.2 comes with what they classify as SAFE repositories but if you need the latest softwares it only takes one change to that list and you have all the most upto date installs..

I tried ubuntu first of all but was a bit harder work than centos at getting virtualmin up and running but must admit to only having switched over as I was trying to get vhcs2 installed on both and failing miserably...

Still not happy at dropping down my windows server as I've supported it for so long but after having an identical forum website up on both systems (the linux though on a slower PC (about 2/3rds the speed/memory)) the linux website of phpbb3 was still a lot faster than windows...
