I once, about a year and a half ago got thrown feet first into the fire on maintaining *nix environment installs of CF, and I have to say, they're not that bad. Apache is easy to config, and I find CF to be a lot more stable overall on decently configured server.
I also agree, Fedora is a good place to start. It comes "pre-packaged" with apache and some basic web stuff you'll need. The things I always find tricky are when I want to add new programs, because sometimes... they get persnickity.
