I can recommend CentOS. We've been running it for some time now on
several of our hosting machines with Plesk setups. But, as far as that
goes, it doesn't make a lick of difference if you're running Debian,
CentOS, or another flavor, as long as you've got a 2.6 kernel and a
decently optimized setup for your PHP sites. The 2.6 kernel makes a lot
of difference when it comes to scaling Apache. With the 2.4 kernel our
Apache 2.0 was somewhat sensitive to DOS attacks, mostly on the memory
side, but with 2.6 and grsec it runs like a dream.
