What is the best linux distro for web development?

Q. I've been getting into web development these past few months, w/ html, php, mysql, javascript so far. I'd like to start developing on a linux system though, as I've currently only had experience doing it on windows. Any recommendations for a good distro geared toward development/servers?

Thanks!

A. There is more than one way to answer that question--but if you look around on the Internet, you will see that many sites are hosted on Apache running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). For this reason, I would probably use CentOS as a development platform--it's RHEL re-compiled without the Red Hat trademarks, but it's otherwise identical. Real-world experience with CentOS would give you useful experience when you encounter RHEL in the wild.
