Other people have mentioned it, but I figured I'll summarize.

Don't neseciarilly limit yourself to Linux.  There's lots of BSDs out 
there that are very good at serving up web pages.  Yahoo, for example, 
is run off Apache on FreeBSD.

However, Debian and RedHat have a reputation for Linux servers, and the 
Linux community seems to be a bit more "friendly" in terms of 
interactive support (IRC and mail lists), but that's just been my 
perception.

RedHat has the advantage over Debian of "real" commercial support (from 
RedHat) if you want that.  However, Debian's packaging system seems 
unbeatable.

Of course, if you're a control freak, or if you're very intimate with 
Linux systems, you may feel comfortable using something like Slackware 
or even "rolling your own".  This has the advantage that you know 
absolutely everything that's on the system.  You can trim it down to 
only what you need and exactly what you need.  The downside is that 
maintainance can become a bit more complicated without a package manager 
and readily available packages.
