Debian IMO - it is rock solid, and has a majority of web apps under its APT (advanced package manger) which will pull down all relevant security updates. Ubuntu is pretty much the same also.

 

The free equivalent of RHEL is either fedora or Cent OS, but neither has as wide a range of "standard" packages. Third party packages are required for things like phpmyadmin. That package is part of Debian/Ubuntu stable.

 

Also - do NOT install a GUI desktop, or X server. Get to know the terminal and you will allow your server to breathe easily.
