[geeks] This damn question again...

I kinda get the impression from folk here that maybe I took a wrong  
turn while picking the OS for our new server@$work. As I've said  
before my experience is limited and I'm determined to get this right.

Currently, I'm looking at a IBM x3500 M2 / 4 core 55x0 Xeon / 8GB  
RAM / 3x 147GB SAS / LTO Tape

Services required are:

Rails
MySQL
Apache/PHP
Samba
Possibly mail

Any further input regards OS? I do feel like a kid pestering you guys,  
but I don't want to screw this up.

P.S. This is the first serious email I've written and sent from my new  
iPhone and I have to say it really craps on WinMo 6 from major altitude!
