Stuart has some good general advice there.

An alternative I'll mention which I've been using on EC2 is Amazon's own 
Linux AMI.  Seems to work pretty well for a server and has a good set of 
packages available.  They are doing pretty regular updates to their packages 
as well.

I'm running...

    Linux
    Upstart (for Gunicorn job management, comes with Amazon Linux AMI)
    Nginx
    Gunicorn
    Apache (for "mass" virtual hosting, Gunicorn's memory footprint seems 
not to compare favorably to Apache for this task, you can drop this if 
you're just hosting a few websites and stick with Gunicorn)
    mod_wsgi (goes along with Apache, not needed for Gunicorn)
    MySQL (use whatever database suits your needs)
    Python (of course! ;-) )
    virtualenv
    virtualenvwrapper
    pip
    Django (again, of course! :-) )
    Several dozen Python and Django related packages needed to run my 
websites.

Toodle-loooooooooooo....
